Following the attack, the exchange has suspended its mobile and web applications to address the situation.<\/p>\n

On September 11, blockchain analysis firms such as PeckShield, Cyvers, and SlowMist reported that Indodax\u2019s hot wallets had been compromised. The stolen assets include Bitcoin<\/a><\/strong>, Tron<\/a><\/strong>, Ethereum<\/a><\/strong>, Polygon<\/a><\/strong>, Shiba Inu<\/a><\/strong>, and other tokens. Investigations revealed that the breach might have originated from a vulnerability in the withdrawal system, allowing the attacker to access the hot wallet.<\/p>\n

The hacker managed to steal substantial amounts of Bitcoin, Tron\u2019s TRX, various ERC-20 tokens, Polygon, and Ether from the Optimism blockchain. Cyvers identified over 150 suspicious transactions and noted that the stolen funds were being converted to Ether, likely using mixing services like Tornado Cash to obscure the trail.<\/p>\n
