Taiwan-based cryptocurrency exchange BitoPro confirmed a security breach that led to the loss of more than $11.5 million in digital assets from its hot wallets on May 8.
The suspicious transactions, which occurred across hot wallets on Ethereum, Tron, Solana and Polygon, saw asset outflows to decentralized exchanges (DEXs) where they were later marked as sold, according to onchain investigator ZachXBT.
