A hot wallet belonging to HTX, formerly known as Huobi, was reportedly attacked, resulting in a loss of $7.9 million. The cyberattack was confirmed by cybersecurity firm Cyber Alerts, which reported that the attackers targeted the wallet, which contains cryptocurrencies that are available for immediate transactions. The identity of the attacker remains unknown, but HTX informed them via Etherscan that their true identity had been confirmed, requesting a return of funds and offering a 5% “white hat” bonus valid until October 2, 2023. It is unclear whether the hacker will comply with the request.
