Attacks took advantage of the weakness in the transactions of the transactions. According to the media, the flow of etherium cryptocurrency from the exchange reached nearly $ 1.46 billion.
The Bybit CryptoCurrency Exchange underwent a large -scale hacker attack, as a result of the nearly $ 1.5 billion exposed from the cold purse of Ethereum. This was announced by the company’s general director Ben Zhou.
It became the attacks that took advantage of the weakness in the transactions sign mechanism, allowing them to access a multilateral ETH-cold wallet.
As a result, hackers managed to restore funds from the cold purse to the heat room, while at the same time the operation was distinguished. All signatures have seen the right address and the real URL, but in fact signed a change in the logic of the intelligent contract, allowing the attack to gain full control over the purse.
All Ethereum funds are moved to an unknown address.
But, despite the large losses, BYBIT representatives have assured that other exchange purses will remain safe, and that the removal of the funds will not change.
The company also emphasized that customer ownership is protected at 1: 1, and even if the money is irreversible, the Bybit will cover the losses on its own.
Remember that North Korea washed $ 147.5 million due to a virtual cash money platform after robbery from a cryptocurrency exchange in March last year.
As reported, last year, hackers stole a cryptocurrency of two billion dollars. Among the largest cryptocurrency twats of the year, the hack of the Euler Finance Protocol is noted. In the attack, hackers stole nearly 200 million US dollars.
Hackers also attacked the Bingx Singapore cryptocurrency exchange, kidnapping cryptocurrencies of $ 43 million.
