Xu Mingxing refutes the rumor that OKX account was added to the whitelist: OKX address book function needs to be improved, if it is a platform problem, OKX will bear full responsibility

TechFlow News: On June 11, in response to the rumor circulating in the community that "unknown addresses appeared in the USDT-TRC20 withdrawal whitelist of many OKX accounts", OKX officials checked multiple addresses and found that they were added by the account owners a few years ago. The OKX official account stated that "in the address book function on the App, the newly added authentication-free addresses are at the top, and the addresses below cannot be newly added." In response, OKX founder Star Xu rarely posted a Chinese Twitter update, saying, "I often forget the addresses I added a long time ago. If you still have questions, please feel free to contact customer service to verify. The OKX address book function does need to be improved, such as displaying the time of addition. In addition, OKX will continue to bear full responsibility for customer asset losses caused by OKX's own problems."

According to previous news, Atomic officials stated that the attack was launched by a team of professional hackers and that some of the stolen funds have been frozen.
