Attackers hacked into the BitKeep exchange site on the BNB network and stole user assets from the site.
The BitKeep developer announced that it detected a cyber attack in time and stopped the hacker’s malicious activity. The team stopped all exchange operations on the site for an indefinite period.
The platform will start working normally as soon as the security service makes sure that the assets of the project and users are safe. The team said that it intends to contact the blockchain security agency and law enforcement agencies to identify intruders and return stolen assets.
The developers claim that users whose wallets have been hacked will receive full compensation. The company has offered white hat hackers and cybersecurity experts who can trace the attackers and recover the stolen assets a generous reward. BitKeep has not yet released details of the cyberattack.
Recently, the official wallet of the non-fungible token platform LiveArtX was hacked, and the Seven Treasures NFT series it released dropped in price by 84% in 24 hours. A little earlier, the team of the Mango Market lending and trading platform on Solana reported a hacker attack that resulted in the theft of $114 million in assets. Earlier this month, Sovryn developers reported that an attacker, using an exploit of the outdated Sovryn Borrow/Lend protocol, attacked credit pools and deduced 211,045 USDT and 44.93 RBTC.
Chainalysis, an analytics firm, has announced that 2022 is set to become the leader in terms of the volume of cryptocurrency hacks. In just 12 days of October, hackers stole more assets than in other months of this year.
