As of now, CoinEx has disclosed three sets of hacker addresses and requested relevant project teams and exchanges to monitor and freeze suspicious addresses.

Users are worried because they cannot withdraw money from CoinEx at the moment. Fortunately, the exchange assured them that, for the sake of asset security, withdrawals would resume once the hacker addresses were pinpointed and isolated after a “thorough investigation.” The team also underlined that user assets remain “safe and untouched.”

Unlike cold wallets, which are kept offline and therefore more secure, hot wallets are more vulnerable to attacks. The past few years have witnessed numerous exchange hacks and cryptocurrency thefts, which have dealt a heavy blow to blockchain security. Finding effective ways to keep hackers away remains a challenge for cryptocurrency exchanges.

As of this writing, CoinEx is still evaluating the losses incurred. Bitcoinsystem will continue to follow this situation closely and provide updated information as soon as possible.
