The decentralized Filament exchange, created on the basis of the SEI blockchain, suffered from a large hacker attack. Attackers stole digital assets from the platform for $ 572,000.

To withdraw funds, hackers manipulations with the order system using major transactions and self -destruction of positions on several accounts. Before hacking, Filament was about $ 680,000 clients. After detecting suspicious activity, the exchange stopped all trading operations and withdrawal of funds.

Filament management reported that law enforcement agencies attracted the incident. Blockchain security experts also help to track stolen funds. It turned out that the attackers transferred crypto assets through Symbiosis Bridge, and then moved to various services, including Fixedfloat.

In an attempt to return the stolen crypto actes, the Filament team offered hackers a reward of 10% (about $ 57,000), subject to a complete return of funds. Filament is also ready to discuss their conditions with hackers.

Later, the leadership of the exchange reported that he was studying system journals and is working on a plan for compensating for damage to the injured users, especially those who are a member of the COMB platform pool. A detailed incident report and the payment procedure will be published later, the Filament team promised.

According to Hacken, in January-March of this year, the losses from attacks by attackers on crypto projects amounted to $ 1.98 billion. This is 96% more than in the same period of 2024. However, sometimes hackers overtakes karma for the deed – recently, the kidnapper of 2,930 esters from the Zklend protocol lost them in a fake cryptomixer Tornado Cash.
