Cryptocurrency exchange Crypto.com said that hackers stole nearly $34 million during the Jan. 17 hack.
- The Singapore-based exchange, in an update on Thursday, acknowledged that unauthorized withdrawals totalled 4836.26 ether ($15.2 million), 443.93 bitcoin ($18.7 million) and $66,200 in U.S. dollars.
- On-chain data from PeckShield had previously suggested that 4,600 ether had been stolen and were being laundered via Tornado Cash, an ETH mixer protocol aimed at improving transaction privacy.
- The hack affected 483 users, all of whom have been fully reimbursed, Crypto.com said.
- Crypto.com suspended withdrawals on its platform on Monday following reports of “unauthorized activity”, subsequently advising users to sign back in and reset their two-factor authentication.
- Crypto.com CEO Kris Marszalek told Bloomberg TV on Wednesday that the numbers for the hack were “not particularly material and customer funds were not at risk.”
- A recent hack of crypto exchange BitMart saw losses of $196 million after a private key was stolen.
