Crypto.com, the most famous digital bank in the Asia-Pacific area, was hacked, causing some users to claim losses ranging from 2 to 5 ETH.
Crypto.com Was Hacked But No Funds Were Lost.
A tiny proportion of Crypto.com clients’ accounts were hacked. Although the corporation stated that no assets were hacked, clients have rushed to Twitter to claim ETH losses.
Ben Baller, a crypto enthusiast and businessman, claimed to have lost 4.25 ETH, which was worth $13,924. Baller insisted on enabling two-factor authentication, implying that the attack may have jeopardized the exchange’s security.
After “some digging,” Baller learned that 5,000 ETH had vanished from an ETH wallet in the span of six hours, which is almost $16 million. Billy Markus, co-founder of Dogecoin, saw “odd” behavior on a Crypto.com Ethereum wallet. Several such payments of 2-5 ETH were made to fresh wallets.
The platform stated that no monies had been lost. Users were instructed to re-enter their app, exchange accounts, and reset their two-factor authentication.
Matt Nutt, one of the users, tweeted:
“Trying to setup 2FA brings up an error stating “Sorry, there was an unexpected issue. Please try again later or contact support via live chat or support@crypto.com”… What’s going on?! :(.”
Crypto.com Was Hacked But No Funds Were Lost.
Withdrawals have been halted but will be resumed after the additional security measures are implemented.
This breach is bad news for a corporation that made significant marketing pushes in 2021. The naming rights of the former Staples Center, home of the Los Angeles Lakers, were purchased for $700 million by the corporation.
The venue’s name has been changed to the Crypto.com Arena. The platform Visa Card is now available in 40 countries. In addition, the corporation developed a public campaign titled “Fortune Favors The Brave,” which starred Matt Damon.
Crypto.com’s services are available via mobile applications and debit cards. The platform is a neobank (a sort of digital bank), and it was named the seventh-most popular neobank in Asia-Pacific Countries (APAC), with 14 million clients in 2021.
Crypto.com keeps all customer money in offline cold wallets, utilizing an institutional-grade technology called Ledger Vault from Ledger. It is insured against physical threats and third-party theft for more than $750 million in cold storage.
