The exchange described the incident as a targeted attack involving foreign intelligence agencies. Following the breach, it halted all services, including deposits and withdrawals.
The stolen assets were converted into Tron (TRX) through multiple transactions and moved to a single wallet. That wallet reportedly holds about 45.9 million TRX.
