BREAKING 🚨🚨🚨



Bithumb is being hacked, at its EOS cold storage level!!! Over 3million EOS has been transferred out 👀👀👀



Detail to be reported, confirmed by security firm who’s auditing for Bithumb

And this is the second time Bithumb saw a MAJOR hack, last time it’s hacked with a loss over $30m.. lol and after the first hack it was STILL able to get the fiat license from Korea and WTF??

It’s said their private key was stolen on its EOS account g4ydomrxhege



Hacker's is from ifguz3chmamg, that’s the address ALL EOS was transferred to, down stream exchanges with stolen fund are Huobi, HitBTC, WB, EXmo etc

With more updates numbers on stolen fund distribution (number of $EOS) and the hacker’s address still holds 1.9Million $EOS



EXMO: 662,600

Huobi: 263,605

Changelly 143,511

KuCoin: 96,270

CoinSwitch: 38,725



$EOS DUMP 👀👀👀

From a comment below.. $XRP wallet is hacked too ..



XRP hacked wallet address - rLaHMvsPnPbiNQSjAgY8Tf8953jxQo4vnu

stolen 20,000,000 xrp (worth $6,000,00)



OMFG 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️

just a minor update. The cold wallet seems still ok, g4ydomrxhege is the hot wallet owned by Bithumb (from address Bithumbshiny) https://eospark.com/account/g4ydomrxhege?tab=subaccountsbithumbshiny … thanks to @evilcos

This is just insane -



1. It’s the second major Bithumb hack so they literally learned NOTHING from last time



2. Why keeping $15m in a single wallet?? high amount withdraw needs lengthy verification anyway..



Will keep everybody posted with @chiachih_wu @evilcos

3. EOS won’t be able to freeze this time, or it’s now too late



4. Hacker has been disposing the stolen EOS via ChangeNow, a non-custodial crypto swap platform dose not require KYC/account



5. Bithumb is the only top Korean ex operator without a commercial banking partnership

The entire timeline as below - h/t @evilcos @chiachih_wu
