Malicious actors once again hit the crypto exchange platform HTX last week with a DDoS attack that lasted for 15 minutes, overloading the site and causing a brief outage.
The Lazarus Group was involved in a third of all crypto exploits and thefts, siphoning off around $600 million in funds in 2023 alone.
Malicious actors stole Tether (USDT) worth around $30 million, $22.5 million in Ethereum (ETH), $10 million in DAI, $10.44 million in Wrapped Bitcoin (WBTC), and $10 million in USDC.
Ledger also revealed that it will discontinue the blind signing practice on devices, which it plans to see fully implemented by June 2024.
The exchange assured users no customers' assets had been compromised by the vulnerability even before the fix was deployed.
