What happened
APEDAO on the BNB chain was attacked and the loss was approximately $7,000. The attacker transferred APEDAO to the pair contract. The APEDAO contract mistook the attacker's behavior as a selling operation and gradually accumulated a value named "amountToDead". The attacker repeatedly transferred APEDAO and then used the skim function to withdraw excess tokens. Eventually, the attacker calls the godead function to destroy APEDAO held in the pairing contract, causing the token price to rise.
