BtcTurk was hacked! The first statement came from the stock market

Cryptocurrency exchange BtcTurk was subjected to a cyber attack. Trading processes on the stock exchange were stopped.

In the statement made by BtcTurk’s official website, it was stated that “Our teams have detected that there was a cyber attack that caused uncontrolled shootings on June 22, 2024.”

In the statement made by the stock exchange, it was stated that “some of the balances in the hot wallets of only 10 cryptocurrencies were affected” by the cyber attack. In the statement, which included the words “Our cold wallets, where most of the assets are kept, are safe”, information about the type of the 10 cryptocurrencies in question was not shared.

In the statement, it was emphasized that “BtcTurk’s financial strength is far above the prices affected by this attack, and user assets will not be affected by these losses,” and it was also stated that official authorities were contacted.

On the other hand, ZachXBT, known as the “crypto detective”, put forward a thesis regarding the cyber attack suffered by BtcTurk. ZachXBT claimed that the $54 million AVAX transfer made during the same day could be related to the attack.
