ETERBASE, a cryptocurrency exchange based in Bratislava, today revealed a security breach. According to the company hackers managed to break into their systems and stole $ 5,4 million worth of digital coins.
The incident was revealed today, Thursday, and mentions the theft of various cryptocurrencies from the company's hot wallets.
Hot wallets are accounts που είναι ενεργά συνδεδεμένοι στο Διαδίκτυο και τους οποίους χρησιμοποιεί η ETERBASE για να τροφοδοτήσει όλες τις συναλλαγές. Εξαφανίστηκαν χρήματα από έξι hot wallets, που περιείχαν Bitcoin, Ether, ALGO, Ripple, Tezos και TRON.
According to some messages which were published on the company's channel at Telegram, ETERBASE managed to detect the attack but was unable to stop it.
Nevertheless, the company says it monitored the transactions as the digital coins left its coffers, and is currently tracking the stolen ones as they move around their respective blockchains.
ETERBASE has already contacted the exchanges where the stolen goods went and asked them to freeze any other transaction.
