The OKX DEX cryptocurrency exchange was attacked, losing about $2.7 million after the private key of the owner of the proxy administrator was leaked.

The attack began on December 12 when an administrator updated the proxy contract, allowing the hacker to gain access to the private key and steal tokens. The owner of the admin area continued to update the contract, and the attack continued. After users appealed, the exchange removed the DEX proxy from the list of trusted persons.

Other companies, such as SlowMist Zone and Scopescan, also confirmed the attack and damage amounting to $2.7 million. OKX DEX promises to fully compensate for the losses of users. This incident serves as a reminder that decentralization does not mean complete security of assets. There have been several similar attacks in the crypto industry that have caused millions of dollars in damage, so it is important to be careful and take security measures. #DEX #cryptonewstoday #hacked #cybersecurity
