What you should know

Nairametrics, a few weeks ago, gave key insights into a reported hack on KuCoin, after private keys linked to crypto wallets got exposed and might have affected $150 million in user funds.

He further said findings of the internal security audit report revealed part of Bitcoin, ERC-20, and other tokens in KuCoin’s hot wallets were transferred out of the crypto exchange, which contained few parts of the total assets holdings.

KuCoin disclosed it was partnering with major crypto exchanges that included Binance, BitMax, OKEx, Huobi, and ByBit and added it was cooperating with law enforcement agencies on the matter.

At least in the near term, it would make it challenging for hackers to try to move the funds. The CEO said,

“We are in contact with many major crypto exchanges such as Huobi, Binance, OKEx, BitMax, and Bybit, as well as Blockchain projects, security agencies, and law enforcement to work on this. Some effective measures have been taken, and we will update with more details soon.”
