South Korean crypto exchange Upbit suspended deposits and withdrawals for SSX tokens after the project’s team alarmed about a $10.2 million heist.
<a href="https://crypto.news/tag/upbit/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Upbit</a> says in a Jan. 29 <a href="https://upbit.com/service_center/notice?id=4013" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">press release</a> that it is suspending deposits and withdrawals of Somesing (SSX) token following a report that 730 million SSX tokens (over $10.2 million) were <a href="https://crypto.news/tag/hack/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">hacked</a> and withdrawn to unknown wallets.
Upbit, in its announcement, stated that it flagged SSX tokens due to a change in the distribution volume of SSX tokens compared to the previously submitted distribution plan. The exchange intends to collaborate with the Somesing Foundation to investigate the incident and verify details related to the fund movement. As of press time, the method employed by the hackers to withdraw millions of dollars’ worth of SSX tokens remains unclear.
