While the incident marks another high-profile centralized exchange exploit, it has also stirred controversy. Renowned blockchain investigator ZachXBT claimed BigONE previously processed significant volume tied to pig butchering, romance, and investment scams.
“I do not feel bad for the team as this CEX processed a good bit of volume from pig butchering, romance, investment scams,” the blockchain sleuth stated.
The hack adds to a growing wave of exchange security breaches and raises new questions about platform integrity. It’s like finding out your local bank has been letting robbers practice their getaway plans. 🏦🏃♂️
BigONE to Cover All Losses
Investigators continue to track the stolen assets as the attacker attempts to move them across chains and exchanges.
According to the exchange, the attacker targeted their hot wallet, but all user assets are reportedly safe.
Meanwhile, BigONE has committed to bearing all the losses but has halted all trading and deposits for the time being. It’s like when your internet goes down, and you’re stuck watching reruns of The Office. 📺💻
Security Incident: unauthorized access to our hot wallet
All user assets are safe. BigONE will fully bear all the losses. Trading and deposits will resume soon; withdrawals after added security upgrades.
