How HTX’s $8 Million Hack Impacts Centralized Crypto Exchanges
Earlier this week, cryptocurrency exchange HTX, formerly known as Huobi, experienced a significant security breach. Around 5,000 Ether (ETH), valued at $7.9 million, was stolen by a hacker who compromised the exchange’s hot wallet, making off with the assets in a single sweep. In response to the breach, Tron founder and HTX advisor Justin Sun reassured users that their assets would be safe and the exchange would cover the losses.
