Preliminary investigations report a theft of more than 60 million dollars
Another Hack As Popular Centralized Exchange Gets TargetedPoloniex,
Polynix exchange is one of the platforms that provide services for buying and selling cryptocurrencies. Polynix was established in 2014 and according to the exchange agents, its head office is located in Panama and it
is registered in this country. Poloniex was cyber-attacked on November 10, 2023. The agents of this exchange initially stopped depositing and withdrawing and announced the reason for this was the network update.
But hours later, Justin Sun, one of the managers and main shareholders of this exchange, announced that hackers succeeded in penetrating this platform. A significant amount of users' property has been stolen in
this exchange and this is the main reason for the blocking of deposits and withdrawals. In the early hours of this hack, it was announced that the amount of stolen funds was about 60 million dollars, but this amount
is not exact. One of the main aftershocks of this event was the increase in withdrawal requests and a very sharp drop in the trading volume of this exchange. Due to this issue and the influx of users, the online chat of
this exchange was unavailable. About 8 hours after this incident, Polonix released an official statement on this matter. Polonix assured its customers that it will try to provide them with a healthy financial situation
again so that the exchange can return to its previous routine. Polonix also said that it has successfully identified and blocked part of the assets related to hacker addresses to prevent further losses, and the losses
related to this incident are being managed, and the technical team of this exchange is trying to restore the status of withdrawals to its previous routine as soon as possible. come back
