🔥🔥🔥WazirX Exchange Hacked, Over $230 Million Los
According to data from Lookonchain, over $230 million in assets have been suspiciously transferred from WazirX wallets to the “0x04b2” wallet, which is believed to be controlled by hackers. Subsequently, the “0x04b2” wallet began liquidating these assets, having sold 64.027 trillion PEPE tokens worth approximately $7.6 million.
Currently, a total of $234.9 million has been transferred to various new addresses. On-chain data indicates that the funds from each hacking transaction were funneled through Tornado Cash, a service known for its privacy features.
In response to this breach, WazirX has acknowledged a security vulnerability in their wallets and has temporarily halted withdrawals to safeguard their users. Following this announcement, the price of WazirX’s native token, WRX, plummeted by 7.77%, dropping to $0.16 without any clear signs of recovery.
