PANews February 21st – On the X platform, on-chain analyst Specter reported that IoTeX may have experienced a private key leak event, with all assets from its token safe being transferred out by attackers, resulting in a total loss of approximately $4.3 million.
On-chain data shows that the attacker transferred multiple contract assets, including USDC, USDT, IOTX, PAYG, WBTC, and BUSD. The stolen assets have since been exchanged for ETH, with about 45 ETH bridged across chains to the Bitcoin network. The incident is still under further investigation.
The disclosed attacker addresses are as follows:
0x6487B5006904f3Db3C4a3654409AE92b87eD442f
