According to <a href="https://platform.arkhamintelligence.com/explorer/entity/huobi" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">data</a> from Arkham Intel, a bounty marketplace where people can trade crypto intelligence, the last outgoing transaction from HTX-labeled address <a href="https://platform.arkhamintelligence.com/explorer/tx/0xd46fd5f56d5cbbe935d2617721ba4cead79c56120fa5f2037bbfcd02772e054c" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">was registered</a> 12 hours ago, on Nov. 23 at 10:47 p.m. (UTC). Incoming transactions keep flowing into the exchange, but it’s unclear if HTX registers them in its internal database.

On Nov. 22, 2023, reports surfaced that HTX and the HECO network suffered a <a href="https://www.coindesk.com/tech/2023/11/22/justin-sun-confirms-htx-heco-chain-exploited-after-100m-in-suspicious-transfers/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">hacker attack</a>, resulting in a total loss of $110 million worth of crypto. Following the incident, HTX’s representatives took to X to reassure customers, saying the exchange will “fully compensate” for losses caused by the attack. 
This is the second attack against HTX since September 2023, when HTX’s hot wallet <a href="https://crypto.news/hackers-return-stolen-funds-identified-htx/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">suffered</a> a cyberattack that saw 5,000 ETH, equivalent to $8 million at the time, stolen by hackers.
