In couple of hours, 550,000$ worth of SNX and 747,000$ worth of OCEAN coins have been swapped and transferred from hacker’s address to some unknown outgoing wallet. This has put the question mark on the security of Kucoin exchange.

Kucoin has released the list of suspicious addresses who have received the abnormal transactions. The hot wallets of exchange were hacked which contained some of the exchange’s holdings. The assets in cold wallets are safe.

Dear @munawar1235

Finally I found some time to catch up with previously bookmarked posts. Solid read.

I've used Kucoing in the past and somehow I never knew that they were based in Singapore. Interesting info.

That doesn't sound rightto me. I wonder if Kucoin does have such a huge reserves to cover those losses. Or perhaps they will use funds, which do not belong to them (deposited by their customers).

Have a great upcoming weekend :)
Yours, Piotr
