Crypto technology service provider Haruko hit by targeted cyberattack, impacting 15 institutional clients

According to CoinDesk, London-based crypto institutional technology services provider Haruko was targeted by a cyberattack earlier this week, affecting a total of 15 clients. Attackers exploited vulnerabilities in Haruko’s infrastructure to extract user access tokens, gaining access to clients’ read-only exchange API information and trading data. A small amount of client funds were stolen, and smaller hedge funds with weaker security controls face a higher risk of loss. Haruko co-founder and CTO Adam Carlile confirmed that the attack specifically targeted Haruko itself. The vulnerability has been patched, and the company plans to release a complete technical post-incident report. Haruko serves over 80 institutional clients globally and connects to more than 100 centralized exchanges and 30 blockchains.
