 <p>According to a blog post by Somesing, the hack occurred on Jan. 27. Among the stolen SSX tokens, 504 million were still unallocated tokens that were initially scheduled to go into circulation by the end of 2025, and 226 million SSX tokens were in the possession of the fund.</p>

  <p>“As a result, 489 million SSX tokens have been over-circulated compared to the circulation volume under the original circulation supply plan as of the end of January 2024.”</p> <cite>Somesing team</cite>

 <p>The project team stressed that the hacking incident is not associated with any member of the Somesing squad and is believed to have been carried out by professional hacker(s) who specialize in hacking virtual assets.</p>
 <p>The <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="platform" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/platform.html">platform</a> team involved the police to investigate the incident.
