Cybersecurity experts at SlowMist have reported that cryptocurrency exchange BigONE has become another victim of hackers and has lost more than $27 million as a result of the attack.
According to SlowMist, hackers changed the logic of the platform’s servers responsible for user accounts and risk control. However, the clients’ private keys remained intact.
BigONE representatives confirmed the hack and reported that the attack paths have been identified and blocked to prevent the withdrawal of funds. Work is currently underway to restore the infrastructure, tracking the addresses of the attackers and the movement of stolen cryptocurrencies.
Deposits and trades will be restored within a day, and withdrawals will become available to users later, after additional security measures have been taken, BigONE explained.
The platform promised to compensate clients’ losses at its own expense. Users’ funds will not be affected – internal reserves in BTC, ETH, USDT, SOL and XIN will be used to cover the losses. Borrowed funds will be used for the remaining stolen crypto assets.
Earlier, analysts from the Debank platform and cybersecurity specialists from PeckShield reported that the decentralized crypto exchange GMX was hacked by hackers who withdrew $42 million.
