In a statement today, the exchange attributed the suspension to “wallet upgrade and maintenance.”
Shortly after the announcement, blockchain security firm PeckShield reported an “abnormal transfer” from XT.com wallets, suggesting a potential breach.
The exchange later acknowledged the issue, stating that there was an “abnormal transfer of platform wallet assets,” but has yet to confirm the incident as a hack.
XT.com reassured users that their assets were safe, stating that the platform “holds 1.5 times more reserves than user assets to ensure maximum security.”
PeckShield revealed that the suspected hacker exchanged the stolen funds for 461.58 Ether (ETH). The exchanged crypto remains at an Ethereum address designated by the security firm.
