๐๐Hey there, BTC enthusiasts! ๐๐
๐ฅHot news!๐ฅ Kraken, a leading cryptocurrency exchange, is in a bit of a pickle. Its chief security officer, Nick Percoco, has revealed that a white-hat hacker group has swiped digital assets worth roughly $3 million from the platformโs treasury by exploiting a bug in its system. ๐ฑ
The hackers, who claim to be security researchers, found an "extremely critical" bug that allowed them to inflate their balance on the platform artificially. They then withdrew about $3 million in crypto from their accounts. ๐๐ฐ
But here's the twist! ๐ When Kraken asked for the return of the stolen assets, the hackers refused! They demanded that Kraken provide an estimated amount of the damage the bug could have caused. Talk about audacity! ๐ฒ
Percoco has said that Kraken is treating this as a criminal case and is coordinating with law enforcement agencies. ๐จ๐ฎโโ๏ธ
So, folks, while we love the thrill of the crypto world, let's remember to play fair and square! ๐ฒ๐น๏ธ
Stay tuned for more updates! ๐ก๐
