BtcTurk hacked

BtcTurk, one of Turkey's largest cryptocurrency exchanges, said it was attacked on June 22, and cryptocurrency deposits and withdrawals have been stopped.

Hackers stole assets from hot wallets holding 10 different cryptocurrencies. Fortunately, assets in cold wallets remain secure. BtcTurk's statement: "Our team detected unauthorized withdrawals from our platform on June 22, 2024. Only a portion of balances in hot wallets for 10 cryptocurrencies were affected. Cold wallet assets are safe. Our financial strength far exceeds the affected amounts, ensuring user assets are protected. We are investigating and working with authorities. Crypto deposits and withdrawals are temporarily suspended."

Following the news, AVAX and LUNC saw significant drops. AVAX fell 10% after $54.2M worth of 1.96M AVAX was transferred to Binance, Coinbase, and Gate. LUNC dropped 20%, linked to a reduction in BtcTurk's wallet balance.
