<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 <a href="https://crypto.news/crypto-losses-soar-to-173m-in-november-driven-by-poloniex-hack/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">attacks</a> 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 “<a href="http://Justin Sun gives new ultimatum to Poloniex hackers, offers $10m bounty" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">white-hat bounty</a>” 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>
