Crypto exchange Remitano experienced large withdrawals under suspicious circumstances on September 14, with some blockchain analysts concluding that it may have been hacked. A total of $2.7 million worth of crypto has been withdrawn through the suspicious transactions. Tether has frozen one address the attacker allegedly used, potentially saving $1.4 million worth of customers’ crypto.<\/p>\n

At approximately 12:45 p.m. on September 14, a known Remitano hot wallet began sending funds to an address with no prior history. Approximately $1.4 million worth of Tether (USDT<\/a>) and $208,000 worth of USD Coin (USDC<\/a>) stablecoins, as well as 104,000 Ankr tokens (worth $2,000 at the time) were moved to address\u00a00x74530e81E9f4715c720b6b237f682CD0e298B66C.<\/p>\n

Blockchain analytics platform Cyvers has alerted the crypto community about the alleged suspicious transactions.<\/p>\n
