At 14:18 (UTC) on September 12, 2023, Cyvers Alerts posted a tweet regarding suspicious withdrawals on the CoinEx Exchange. Crypto assets, including ETH, TRON, MATIC, and more from CoinEx’s hot wallets, were transferred to unknown addresses, raising suspicions of a potential hack. 
The CoinEx team responded to the incident on Twitter at 17:38 the same day. According to the official statement, the exchange’s Risk Control System had detected anomalous withdrawals from several hot wallet addresses used to store CoinEx’s exchange assets. In prompt response, the team formed a special investigation team to investigate the incident and promised to offer 100% compensation for any loss due to this breach.

CoinEx has disclosed three batches of hacker addresses and asked relevant project teams and exchanges to monitor and freeze the suspicious addresses. 
Users are concerned, as they currently cannot withdraw funds from CoinEx. Luckily, they have been assured by the exchange that, for asset security, withdrawals will resume as soon as the hacker addresses are fully identified and isolated after “a thorough review”. The team also emphasized that user assets remain “secure and untouched”. 
Unlike cold wallets, which are kept offline and therefore safer, hot wallets are more vulnerable to hacks. The past few years have witnessed numerous exchange hacks and coin theft incidents, dealing a heavy blow to blockchain security. Finding effective ways to keep hackers at bay remains challenging for crypto exchanges. 
As of this writing, CoinEx is still assessing the losses incurred and will closely follow this situation and provide updates as soon as possible.
