Token creation platform Bancor, hacked. It was determined that the size of the impiety was $ 13.5 million. The platform has gone offline.
According to CoinDesk, the token-creation platform Bancor went offline after a security breach yesterday.
The platform was reported to have gone offline with Bancor after being attacked via its official Twitter account, and the user's wallets were exposed to security breaches.
A representative from Bancor said, "We are in maintenance mode to complete the investigation and will publish a more detailed report in the coming hours. We look forward to being online again as soon as possible. "
The developments a year later, when Bancor sold $ 153 million in ICO, where the biggest token sales were made. Bancor allows for the creation of new cryptographic tokens as well as serving as a decentralized exchange.
First, it was stated that the user's wallets were not affected by the attack.
An observer claimed that 25,000 ETH was stolen, worth about $ 12.5 million. Nate Hindman, one of Bancor's officials, said that the transfer of BNTs was blocked, but that was not done for the stolen Ether.
According to a recent statement by Bancor, 230 million NPXS worth $ 1 million, 3.2 million BNT worth $ 10 million and 25 thousand ETH worth $ 12.5 million were played. Transfers of BNTs were prevented and the damage was substantially reduced.
Hindman, "We have blocked the stolen BNT tokens, but it is not possible to freeze ETH or any other token that is stolen. But we are working with dozens of crypto-money exchanges to monitor stolen funds and make it harder for thieves to sell them, "he said.
According to Hindman, Bancor identified the cause of the attack and removed the vulnerability.
It is noted that Bancor is expected to be online again in 24 hours.
This incident also affected Bancor's BNT token's price. According to CoinMarketCap, BNT fell by 14 percent to 2.72 dollars.
