A security compromise was reported on Thursday by <a href="https://catalyx.io/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Catalyx</a>, a crypto trading platform based in Canada. In this case, the cryptocurrency assets held by the exchange are at risk of being lost.
The cryptocurrency exchange’s operator, CatalX CTS Ltd., issued a statement stating that an employee is believed to be involved in the security breach. The Canadian platform has seen a disruption in routine trading and withdrawal activities due to the events.

In accordance with the temporary halt order on December 21, 2023, the Alberta Securities Commission (<a href="https://www.asc.ca/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">ASC</a>) declared the admissibility of evidence to be concealed.
The exchange stated:
<blockquote class="wp-block-quote">
 “Due to the Loss, all crypto and fiat currency withdrawals from the Platform and all trading activities on the Platform have been temporarily suspended.”
</blockquote>
Sections 33 and 198 of the Securities Act (Alberta) were used to issue the order, which requires the respondents to refrain from trading or buying any derivatives or securities for a period of fifteen days. Without an extension from the Commission, the order will expire on January 5, 2024.
Allegedly, <a href="https://www2.deloitte.com/us/en.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Deloitte</a> is conducting an audit of the cryptocurrency exchange, which has temporarily halted all trading and withdrawals.
At this time, a warning banner on the official Catalyx website informs visitors that the platform is experiencing “technical difficulties,” and that it will notify customers when normal functionality is back up.&nbsp;
Currently serving as CEO, Jae Ho Lee established the exchange in 2018. The exchange is registered with FINTRAC, the national financial intelligence organization of <a href="https://thenewscrypto.com/bitstamp-announces-canada-exit/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Canada</a>.
