On August 29th, Bilaxy, a Seychelles-based digital asset trading platform, announced that some of its wallets had been compromised.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While the amount stolen has yet to be confirmed by the exchange\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n <\/g>\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n <\/clipPath>\r\n <\/defs><\/svg><\/span><\/a>, some estimates suggest it might be approximately $450 million in various cryptocurrencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, many postings on Bilaxy's official Telegram channel indicated that the platform has momentarily halted operations due to maintenance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, the exchange took to Twitter a few hours later to post a \u201ctop urgent-Bilaxy hacked notice.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Customers were told not to send any funds to their accounts since the company's hot wallet has been compromised.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Apart from occasional updates on Telegram stating the team is trying to remedy the problem and that users should not be concerned, the exchange has offered little to no information <\/a>since then.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bilaxy has thus far been unable to reveal the exact amount that the hackers were able to swipe. As of writing these lines, the website is still down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Several addresses have already been linked to the breach, including this one, which has been labelled as such.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to HogeFinance, all HOGE tokens on Bilaxy have been emptied and sent to another wallet<\/a>. The value of the tokens is just around $22 million.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to other Telegram estimates, the total money stolen from the exchange is around $400 million. Despite this, there has yet to be an official confirmation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another comparable situation was recently reported by CryptoPotato when the Japanese exchange Liquid Global was hacked. Around $80 million in digital assets was stolen by the attackers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
