 <p>Following the recent cybersecurity breaches of HTX and Poloniex, Justin Sun has announced an “epic <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="airdrop" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/airdrop.html">airdrop</a>” for <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="users" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/users.html">users</a> with assets on these platforms.

 </div>
 <p>The airdrop is part of a broader strategy to mitigate the financial impact on users after Poloniex’s hot wallets were compromised, leading to an estimated loss of $114 million. Additionally, HTX faced a $30 million loss in a security breach on Nov. 22. These incidents are among a series of attacks that have targeted Sun-related businesses over the past months, with the largest being the Poloniex exchange exploit, where hackers stole approximately $100 million due to a private key compromise earlier in November​​​​​​.</p>
 <p>In response to the Poloniex attack, Sun has also offered a 5% deal to the attackers, effectively providing a “white-hat bounty” for the return of the stolen funds. This unconventional approach indicates Sun’s commitment to addressing the challenges posed by such security breaches​​.</p>
 <p>Both HTX and Poloniex are also preparing to resume normal operations, with plans to reopen deposits and withdrawals.&nbsp;</p>
