About $400 million worth of cryptocurrency was siphoned from the beleaguered FTX exchange in the last few hours. After declaring bankruptcy just hours before, the exchange stated that it had been hacked.
The FTX Community Chat admin sent a message to the official Telegram group of the exchange stating that the bankrupt platform was hacked and all apps were malware.
The admin advised users to delete the app and not visit the website or open their mobile applications as they could end up with Trojans.
Over $380 Million in User Funds Gone
The actual amount withdrawn from the exchange is yet to be determined as sources claim it is between $380 million and $600 million.
According to Etherscan, the drainer address has processed more than 140 transactions and received funds from several wallets linked to FTX. In just two hours, the address received 83,878.63 ETH (over $105.3 million).
