According to ChainCatcher, Kraken Chief Strategy Officer Nick Percoco said that the trading platform regards the recent loss of nearly $3 million as a "criminal case" and is coordinating with law enforcement to recover the funds.
Percoco said that these unnamed CertiK researchers stole millions of dollars of cryptocurrency from Kraken by withdrawing funds that had been deposited into their accounts before the deposit was completed. He wrote that the attackers could effectively print assets.
Earlier, blockchain security agency CertiK announced on social platforms that a series of serious vulnerabilities had been found in the Kraken exchange, which could result in potential losses of hundreds of millions of dollars.
