LCX Exchange lost $ 6.8 million
The compromise of the hot wallet was followed by the unauthorized transfer of eight types of ERC-20 tokens, including ETH, USDC, LINK and its own LCX token.
Representatives of the LCX cryptocurrency exchange, registered in Liechtenstein, confirmed the compromise of one of their hot wallets.
The first company to report the hack was PeckShield, which monitors the security of blockchains. Technical workers were interested in the suspicious transfer of ERC-20 tokens from LXC to an unknown Ethereum wallet.
After a while, the information was confirmed by the exchange itself. A published message on Twitter says about the loss of numerous tokens, including ETH, USD Cad (USD) and other coins, including its own LCX token.
PeckShield analyzed the theft and estimated that LCX lost at least 6.8 million at current market prices.
