XT.com suspends withdrawals amid hacking allegations

XT.com, an overseas cryptocurrency exchange with a daily trading volume of $3.4 billion (approximately 509.8 billion yen), has temporarily suspended withdrawals due to suspected hacking.
On the 28th (local time), XT.com announced that it would temporarily suspend withdrawals due to wallet upgrades and maintenance.
Subsequently, blockchain security firm PexShield confirmed that XT.com had secured $1.7 million worth of crypto assets.
In response, Ext.com essentially admitted to the hack, saying that “exchange assets were transferred to a suspicious address.”
According to FexShield, the hackers have already converted the stolen assets into Ethereum (ETH).
