BitMart founder Sheldon Xia said the exchange was also hit by a hacker attack yesterday, according to a ChainCatcher report. Xia said the amount involved was relatively small and that the team had already moved quickly to investigate the incident and strengthen security defenses.
The disclosure comes as BitMart has already announced a shutdown and is moving through restructuring and liquidation. Xia said an initial investigation suggests the attack on BitMart may have been carried out by the same group that attacked Brazilian bitcoin market Mercado Bitcoin yesterday.
No further figures were disclosed in the brief update beyond the statement that the amount involved was small. The report did not provide additional details on the attack method, affected assets, or the progress of the investigation.
