HTX @HTX_Global has suffered a loss of 5,000 #Eth ($8 million USD) due to a hacker attack. HTX has fully covered the losses incurred from the attack and has successfully resolved all related issues. All user assets are #SAFU and the platform is operating completely normally. Tweeted at 10:14 AM · Sep 25, 2023 The hacker's addresses are 0xdb1D74467c9042517A354304256E0d658D8AEC83 and 0x799982b75Ba538F211871cBa50Fa1A42ADa9ab5E Tweeted at Sep 25 $8 million represents a relatively small sum in comparison to the $3 billion worth of assets held by our users. It also amounts to just two weeks' revenue for the HTX platform. Tweeted at Sep 25 We detected the hack immediately after the incident yesterday (6pm SGT 9/24/2023) and took swift action to prevent any losses. Tweeted at Sep 25 As a result, all funds are secure, and trading operations have continued as usual. We promptly addressed and resolved all issues, restoring the platform to its normal state without delay. Tweeted at Sep 25 We are willing to offer 5% of the stolen amount (400,000 USD) as a white hat reward to encourage the hacker to return the stolen funds. If the hacker returns the funds, we will also hire them as a security white hat advisor for HTX. Tweeted at Sep 25 If the funds are not returned within 7 days, we will transfer the information to law enforcement authorities for further action and to prosecute the hacker. Tweeted at Sep 25
