Crypto Hack: How Much Have Projects Lost In Attack
KuCoin
Damage: $ 150 million to $ 280 million
BTC, ETH, and other ERC-20 format tokens worth more than $ 150 million were withdrawn from the hot wallets of the Chinese cryptocurrency exchange KuCoin on September 26. The Whale Alert service recorded several such transactions at once with the DeFi tokens of Synthetix project (SNX), Chainlink (LINK), and Ocean Protocol (OCEAN) blockchain platform tokens.
The incident with theft of funds from bZx was the third for the project in a year: as a result of two previous attacks carried out in February, hackers managed to withdraw about $ 1 million more. A day later, Value DeFi reported that the hackers had recovered about $ 2 million from the stolen funds, and the rest of the assets were still being recovered.
