On Sept. 25, Mixin network <a href="https://cryptoslate.com/mixin-network-loses-200m-in-attack-of-its-cloud-provider/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">revealed</a> that its cloud service provider suffered a breach that led to a loss of $200 million. The loss topped that of <a href="https://cryptoslate.com/euler-finance-eul-crashes-48-following-197m-hack/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Euler Finance’s $197 million hack</a>, making it the largest crypto loss of this year.

Mixin Network has offered a $20 million bug bounty to the attacker that stole $200 million from its platform, according to on-chain data. 
In an on-chain message sent to the attacker, Mixin stated that most of the stolen assets belonged to its users, adding: 
<blockquote> 
 “Most of our platform assets were users’, and we hope you can refund them. You can keep $20M of the assets as a BUG Bunty Reward for the BUG. Contact us via bug@mixin.one for the reward details.” 
</blockquote>

In a Sept. 27 <a href="https://x.com/MixinKernel/status/1706948541850235274?s=20" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">update</a> on X (formerly Twitter), Mixin revealed that, upon careful assessment of the losses, the outlook appears notably more positive than initially anticipated. “The losses are not as significant as estimated,” the update added. 
However, the network failed to provide new information detailing how it arrived at this new estimate. Instead,&nbsp;it hinted at the possibility of reimbursing affected customers, saying: 
<blockquote> 
 “Regarding the asset losses, we can only take responsibility through action besides apologizing. At the same time, being responsible has always been Mixin’s attitude. Specific reimbursement rules still need some time.” 
</blockquote> 
Mixin strongly advised users to abstain from conducting transactions on their network to avert unwarranted financial losses. 
Mixin’s XIN native token has yet to recover from the attack, trading at $172.71 as of press time despite rising by 2.7% in the last 24 hours.
