Classy Crypto, Terra Classic influencer and part of the Terraport marketing team, said a hacker stole approximately 9.5 million TERRA, 15 billion LUNC and 5.5 million USTC.
Stating that the stolen funds were transferred to Binance and MEXC Global, the Terraport team asked them to freeze the cryptocurrencies transferred from these exchanges.
Binance CEO CZ, who was not indifferent to this request, said, "Open a file on this situation in Binance as soon as possible. It will be a much faster response than writing to me. I do not know what address or wallet in Binance."

What is Terraport?
Terraport is a DeFi platform developed by the TerraCVita developer group to revive the Terra Luna Classic network and increase the LUNC burn rate.
The platform raised $2 million in funding in January. The team had successfully burned 100 million LUNC tokens within the first week following the platform's launch.
