The rumors are also stating that the aim of the hacking may not have been primarily about stealing the money from the exchange. But to disrupt the crypto market in order to push the prices down.

Certain people who are of this school of thought believe that investors who associated with hackers were able to purchase the tokens when the prices were down. Seoul Economic Daily reported a statement from an anonymous senior executive of a top Chinese crypto exchange platform. He stated that the hacking attack was most likely instigated from the north of China. The report also stated that the cybercriminals are now moving to attack South Korean exchanges. They are numerous in Liaoning, Heilongjiang and Jilin province

Employees of Bithumb are also under suspicion as critics pointed out. That’s so despite the hacks severity, the prices were not largely affected.
