Shiba Inu offers assistance to BitMart exchange
The Shiba Inu cryptocurrency’s official Twitter account has tweeted a message in support of the BitMart exchange, offering assistance to the beleaguered trading platform:
Dear #ShibArmy,
Even though the core of our project is decentralization, we want to show our support and give some love to our friends at @BitMartExchange, who are already working hard to fix the security incident that happened yesterday. pic.twitter.com/CJZjQHaP59— Shib (@Shibtoken) December 5, 2021
BitMart was robbed of approximately $200 million on Saturday, in what appears to be one of the worst hacking attacks in recent memory.
On Ethereum and Binance Smart Chain, the attacker stole almost 900 billion Shiba Inu coins as well as over 20 additional tokens.
The BitMart exchange is currently conducting a security audit, and withdrawals are currently halted.
Huobi, a major cryptocurrency exchange, promised to assist with the freezing of transactions related to the event.
Huobi will do our best to assist #BitMart in handling this issue. If there are any inflows of related assets, we will report and assist in a timely manner.— Huobi (@HuobiGlobal) December 5, 2021
Scam alert for Shiba Inu
The ShibaSwap decentralized exchange team will continue to investigate potential security issues, advising the community to be cautious.
Last month, the official Twitter account issued a scam notice to the community regarding the proliferation of online shams aiming to exploit meme currency holders.
A short video clip outlines several methods that fraudsters use to defraud unsuspecting victims of their money.
Stay Alert & Safe #ShibArmy!
We’ve been made aware of a recent scam, traveling social media, and other communication platforms.
