On September 25th, according to Cyvers Alerts monitoring, it was revealed that an EOA address received 5,000 ETH from HTX yesterday. This morning, it was discovered that HTX had conducted a hot wallet migration. Cyvers Alerts confirmed that one of HTX's hot wallets was attacked, resulting in a loss of $7.9 million. The hacker's address is 0xdb1D74467c9042517A354304256E0d658D8AEC83.

HTX claims to have identified the hacker's real identity. The crypto exchange platform HTX later left a message on-chain for the hacker who stole 5,000 ETH from the hot wallet, stating, We have confirmed your real identity. Please return the funds to 0x18709E89BD403F470088aBDAcEbE86CC60dda12e. We will offer you a 5% white hat bonus. This offer is valid for 7 days, with a deadline of October 2, 2023. If you do not return the funds before the deadline, we will request the involvement of law enforcement agencies.

Cyvers Alerts also stated on social media that its investigation revealed that the Mixin hacker received 51 ETH from an address starting with 0x1795, which had interacted with Binance and HTX, potentially helping to identify the hacker's identity.

Justin Sun Responds: Platform Bears the Loss
Following the attack, Justin Sun, the founder of TRON and a member of the HTX Global Advisory Council, stated on social media that HTX had suffered a loss of 5,000 ETH due to a hacker attack. HTX has fully borne the losses caused by the attack and successfully resolved all related issues. All user assets are secure, and the platform is operating normally. Justin Sun added that $8 million is a relatively small amount compared to the $3 billion in assets held by HTX users. It also represents only two weeks' worth of income for the HTX platform. HTX detected the hacker attack immediately after it occurred, took swift action to prevent any losses, resolved all issues, and restored the platform to normal operation without delay.

First Attack After Huobi's Rebranding to HTX
Cryptocurrency exchange platform Huobi officially rebranded as HTX on its tenth anniversary. Currently, the official X account of Huobi has been renamed to HTX, and the handle has been changed to @HTX_Global. According to insiders, Huobi's work email addresses were changed to have the @HTX suffix in August 2022. Justin Sun clarified on social media that the rebranding from Huobi to HTX was only an English brand upgrade, and the Chinese brand name remained unchanged. This hacker attack is the first incident of this kind that HTX has encountered after its rebranding from Huobi. BlockBeats will provide real-time updates on the developments of this incident and keep a close watch on it.
