CEO Confirms Security Breach, User Assets Remain Safe Sumit Gupta, the co-founder and CEO of CoinDCX, shared in a recent X post that the platform suffered a security breach affecting one of its internal operational accounts used for liquidity on a partner exchange. He assured users that no customer funds were impacted, and all user assets remain safe in cold wallets. Web3 Down, INR Withdrawals Remain Operational The issue was caused by a server compromise, but was quickly contained by isolating the affected internal account. Since this account is separate from customer wallets, the impact was limited. He also shared that trading and INR withdrawals continue to function normally, and losses are being fully absorbed by CoinDCX’s own treasury. Sumit said their team is working with cybersecurity experts to fix the issue, recover funds, and launch a bug bounty program to improve security. He promised to keep the community updated and stressed the importance of staying transparent during incidents like this. CoinDCX Web3 is temporarily down as a precaution, but user funds remain safe. INR withdrawals remain fully operational on CoinDCX https://t.co/xDTCapKxct — Sumit Gupta (CoinDCX) (@smtgpt) July…
