HTX Global Hack: Justin Sun announces recovery from an $8 million hack, offering a reward to the hacker and safeguarding user assets.

HTX Global recently faced a security breach resulting in the loss of 5,000 ETH (equivalent to $8 million USD). However, the platform swiftly addressed the situation, ensuring that user assets remained secure and operational.

The hack was detected promptly on September 24, 2023, at 6 pm SGT. The hacker’s addresses were identified as:

• 0xdb1D74467c9042517A354304256E0d658D8AEC83
• 0x799982b75Ba538F211871cBa50Fa1A42ADa9ab5E

Swift Response Ensures User Safety

Despite the substantial sum involved, $8 million represents only a fraction of the $3 billion worth of assets held by HTX Global’s users. It’s also just a small portion of the platform’s two weeks’ revenue.

In response to the hack, HTX Global is offering a 5% white hat reward, amounting to $400,000 USD, to encourage the hacker to return the stolen funds. If the hacker complies, there is the potential for them to become a security white hat advisor for HTX. However, legal action will be pursued if the funds are not returned within seven days.
