A total of 14 user wallets were compromised. The platform has urgently suspended its trading functionality and pledged to fully compensate all losses. Blockchain analyst @99barzzz tracked the incident, revealing that the losses amounted to approximately $385,000. The hacker’s EVM-compatible address has been identified.
