According to Silkjær, during the attack that began on June 1, 80-90 user wallets were hacked and, as a result, 23,200,000 XRPs were sent to 12 addresses. It soon became clear that out of this amount, 13.1 million XRP were on various exchanges and transaction mixing services.
As he notes, the following services are among the recipients of the stolen funds:
- changelly.com,
- changenow.io,
- kucoin.com,
- huobi.com,
- exmo.me,
- hitbtc.com,
- binance.com,
- alfacashier.com․
It is currently unknown how hackers attacked the service. Representatives of GateHub confirmed the problem, but could not provide more detailed information.
Recall that as a result of hacking (early in March) the large South Korean stock exchange Bithumb lost 20.000.000 XRP and 3.000.000 EOS.
