Sorry for the inconvenience and please have some patience untill we solve the issue.
In another tweet, Eterbase announced that they’re closely cooperating with law enforcement forces to solve the case. The exchange further promised to do everything in its power to make sure the customer’s funds aren’t affected by the security breach.
Eterbase announced over Twitter that six of its addresses where affecte by the hack. The addresses are tied to Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH/ERC-20 tokens), XRP, Tron (TRX), Tezos (XTZ) and Algorand (ALGO).
The $5 Million number doesn’t come from Eterbase’s Twitter account itself, but from the research of online news site The Block, which inspected the addresses on their blockchains.
Value of stolen coins according to The Block
The crypto exchange is currently in maintenance mode following the incident. Eterbase contacted other exchanges to make sure the hackers can’t simply move their stolen crypto and trade it elsewhere.
