🚨Emergency Alert: Indodax, Indonesia's largest exchange, suffered a hacker attack
Indodax, Indonesia's largest centralized exchange, was hacked, with losses of up to $18.2 million. The news shocked the entire industry!
The incident occurred on September 11, when security company Cyvers Alerts discovered suspicious transactions in the Indodax wallet and immediately issued an alert. The report showed that hackers had exchanged $14.4 million in tokens for Ethereum and were rapidly transferring assets.
Cyvers Alerts also found that more than 150 suspicious transactions caused Indodax to lose $18.2 million, and called on Indodax to respond quickly to reduce losses.
At the same time, PeckShield also monitored a large outflow of funds from Indodax, with an estimated $15.7 million in cryptocurrency stolen. These funds include tokens on Ethereum, Polygon, and Optimism.
Subsequently, the Indodax team quickly acknowledged the security breach and announced a suspension of services for maintenance to ensure the integrity of the platform. "We are undergoing full maintenance, during which our network and application will be temporarily inaccessible," they posted on social media X.
Despite the ongoing attack, Indodax assured users that their funds are safe. They thanked users for their patience and trust, and stressed that this maintenance is essential to ensure the security of transactions.
Indodax, formerly known as Bitcoin Indonesia, was founded by Oscar Darmawan and William Sutanto in 2014 and has become a major player in the Southeast Asian market, supporting the trading of more than 160 cryptocurrencies.
This attack is a reminder that cryptocurrency exchanges need to continuously strengthen security measures to protect user assets from threats. We also hope that Indodax can resolve this issue as soon as possible and recover from it.
