The way I read the article, the “worth millions” is the sum of the ransom demand.
The funny part is that the exploit is in the “smart” contract, ya know the thing that the blockchain keeps secure by forbidding any updates or patches.
It wouldn’t be the first time that somebody who should’ve known better gets taken in by hype.
That said, I agree it’s unlikely.
