This is the first conviction case related to smart contract hacking.In July 2022, Ahmed attacked a cryptocurrency exchange using false pricing data and stole approximately $9 million worth of cryptocurrency. Subsequently, he attacked Nirvana Finance, exploiting a vulnerability in its smart contract to purchase cryptocurrency at a price lower than that set by the contract and sell it to Nirvana at a higher price, stealing nearly all of Nirvana's $3.6 million funds, which led to its closure shortly after being hacked.
