The news that the DMM exchange, which belongs to the Japanese cryptocurrency mining group, was attacked in the evening hours, hit the agenda like a bombshell. Attackers emptied the wallets by capturing private keys and $305 million worth of Bitcoin was moved to external wallets.
After the robbery, which was described as the biggest attack of this year, withdrawals were frozen in the stock market.
