Overview

  • A sophisticated server breach on July 19 compromised an internal liquidity provisioning account, siphoning off $44 million.
  • CoinDCX has fully absorbed the loss from its treasury reserves to safeguard all customer funds.
  • Spot trading and rupee withdrawals operated normally throughout the incident and Web3 services have now resumed under reinforced security measures.
  • The compromised account remains isolated as CoinDCX works with CERT-In and global cybersecurity firms to investigate and track the stolen crypto.
  • The exchange plans to offer rewards for white-hat researchers through a bug bounty program aimed at identifying vulnerabilities and recovering assets.
