BingX Exchange Faces Potential Attack: Over $27M in Crypto Stolen!
In a possible security breach, alleged attackers have drained over $27 million in various crypto assets from BingX Exchange in just the past four hours.

The stolen funds are being swapped for Ethereum (ETH) through several suspicious wallet addresses:
Address 1: 0xf7e8033366166f92eb477b7b38e0d47d47b43326
Address 2: 0x940362b46faf7df48af1c8989d809f50466b5fca
Address 3: 0x719981cf7d1a1dc681a1cf0c6b1eeee090d0fed6
Address 4: 0x1dd7daf089c16856155fefd7e2170966bb6b3aee
Address 5: 0xf26e64ef4300ca027d2ffedd7d765d7a3906091c

The suspected attacker’s wallets currently hold 7,225 ETH ($17.71M) and 11,467 BNB ($6.44M). In response, BingX has placed its wallet system under temporary maintenance, suspending withdrawals and related services.

Official Response from BingX:
At 4 AM (SGT) on September 20, the BingX team detected suspicious activity in their hot wallet, indicating a possible hack. They swiftly transferred assets and paused withdrawals to mitigate the impact. The exchange reports minimal losses, assuring users that the majority of assets remain safe in cold wallets, with only a small portion affected.

To ensure the security of user funds, BingX has extended recharge and withdrawal processing times and promises to resolve the situation within 24 hours. The exchange appreciates users' patience during this time.

🚨 **Warning** 🚨 Security Alert: Protect Your Cryptocurrencies from Hackers!

Dear Binancers,

There has been a rise in clipper malware attacks that steal your cryptocurrencies by changing the wallet addresses you copy. Here’s how to protect your wallets and funds:

### What is Clipper Malware?
Clipper malware changes the wallet addresses you copy to those controlled by hackers. If you don’t notice the change, you could send your funds to the wrong address.

### How to Protect Yourself:
- **Double-Check Addresses:**
Always compare the copied wallet address with the original before confirming any transaction.

- **Use Security Software:**
Install and update trusted antivirus and anti-malware software. Run regular scans on your device.

- **Use Hardware Wallets:**
Use hardware wallets like Ledger or Trezor to keep your private keys offline for added security.

- **Avoid Suspicious Links:**
Don’t click on unknown links in emails, messages, or websites, as they could install malware on your device.

- **Update Your Devices:**
Make sure your operating system and apps are up to date with the latest security patches.

- **Enable Two-Factor Authentication:**
Activate two-factor authentication on all your crypto accounts for extra protection.

Stay alert to protect your assets! If you think you’ve been targeted, contact Binance support immediately.

Stay safe and happy trading!#HackerNews #Write2Earn! #writetowin

🚨NEW DAY, NEW HACK🚨

Earlier today, the Official Bybit X account got hacked by unknown personnel.‼️

The hacker was quick to drop a link for people to supposedly claim their $TON, with the heading
“Wednesday airdrop alert” on a Sunday.😂

This is becoming pathetic.

But, what’s worse is how these big accounts are easily getting hijacked by people with malicious intent, putting #crypto traders at risk.

Is this a problem with the security of these big accounts or X as a whole?🤔

Regardless, stay safe out there. ⚠️

“Binance did nothing even though it knew of the theft and frequent cross-trading. Hackers manipulated accounts for over an hour, causing extremely abnormal transactions in multiple currency pairs without any risk control; Binance failed to freeze the funds of the obvious hacker’s single account in the platform on time.”

💬Recently, there have been frequent cases of celebrity Twitter accounts being hacked. Scammers post about scam coins, and people, without thinking, rush to buy these coins and end up losing money. Friends, don't be among these people. We are here to grow our wealth, not lose it.

Previously, the accounts of McDonald's and football player Kylian Mbappé were hacked. Today, the accounts of Donald Trump's daughter and the wife of his son Eric were compromised.🤔

The strangest part is that even though people see how hackers are successfully breaching accounts, they still rush to buy the scam coins. They want to be among the first to buy and make more money, but in the end, they just lose. One person lost over 1 million dollars. Can you imagine how much that is? If he had bought fundamental cryptocurrencies instead, it could have turned into 3-4 million dollars in the current market.🤑

I'm sitting down to write a post about what awaits us in September and for the rest of 2024.

Give a reaction if you're interested!
