A blockchain analyst under the pseudonym ZachXBT reported suspicious transactions from the wallets of the Australian exchange CoinSpot totaling $2 million.
In his <a href="https://t.me/investigations/70" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Telegram channel</a>, blockchain detective ZachXBT pointed out two transactions. First, the attackers withdrew 1,262 Ethereum (<a href="https://crypto.news/price/ethereum/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">ETH</a>) and then another 20.99 ETH.
The stolen funds were exchanged for Wrapped Bitcoins (<a href="https://crypto.news/price/wrapped-bitcoin/" data-type="link" data-id="https://crypto.news/price/wrapped-bitcoin/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">WBTC</a>) and stablecoins USDC and USDT. To do this, the attackers directly used the decentralized exchange Uniswap, the <a href="https://crypto.news/price/thorchain/" data-type="link" data-id="https://crypto.news/price/thorchain/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">THORChain</a> protocol, and the WBTC smart contract.
CoinSpot exchange was founded in 2014, and so far, no incidents related to information security have been recorded on it. At the moment, representatives of the site have not confirmed the hack. The company’s website emphasizes that CoinSpot “maintains the highest security standards by storing the majority of assets in a cold wallet.”
