CyversAlerts: Cryptocurrency exchange FixFloat fell victim to hacking and lost about $2.8 million.

The decentralized cryptocurrency exchange FixFloat became the victim of a repeat exploit, as a result of which approximately $2.8 million was withdrawn from its hot wallet. CyversAlerts analysts reported that about half a day ago, unknown perpetrators transferred $2.8 million from the FixFloat wallet in the Ethereum blockchain to an unknown address. Subsequently, an additional volume of funds in ETH, USDT, WET, DAI, and USDC was deposited into this suspicious account. In order to avoid asset freezing by issuers, the USDT and USDC stablecoins were quickly converted through the services of several decentralized exchanges into Ether. After that, all assets were sent to the eXch exchange. Currently, the hackers’ wallet has been emptied, and the FixFloat exchange website is in technical maintenance mode. This incident is not the first security breach encountered by FixFloat. In February, there was a hack of access control elements to the system, resulting in the exchange suffering damage of approximately $26 million.
