The security breach at an Indian crypto exchange, WazirX, has resulted in the loss of over $230 million worth of crypto assets.

Impact of the Breach

The hackers have been actively converting the stolen assets into Ethereum and have transferred funds to a new address, using a privacy-enhancing tool to obscure the movement of funds.

As a result, the exchange has temporarily paused withdrawals to ensure the safety of assets.

Response and Investigation

The attack was initially reported by Cyvers Alert, and on-chain investigators have noted that the hackers still hold significant amounts of certain cryptocurrencies.
