FTX, the crashing crypto exchange, has been hit with yet another disaster as the hundreds of millions of dollars suspiciously moved away from the exchange have been confirmed as hackers’ perpetration.
FTX general counsel Ryne Miller confirmed this unfortunate incident on the exchange’s official Twitter handle.
“FTX has been hacked. Chat is open. Don’t go to FTX site as it might download Trojans. Note that some funds were retrieved.”
Also on Twitter, Miller said, “Investigating abnormalities with wallet movements related to consolidation of ftx balances across exchanges – unclear facts as other movements not clear. Will share more info as soon as we have it.”
According to ZachXBT, an on-chain analyst, the amount of crypto assets moved by the con artists is approximately $383 million.

ZachXBT also says stablecoin issuer Tether has blacklisted portions of USDT related to the address involved in the transfers, which Etherscan has now labeled as “FTX Accounts Drainer.”
The embattled exchange has also informed its users to stop interacting with all of its apps because they have been infected with malware.
“FTX apps are malware. Delete them. Chat is open. Don’t go on FTX site as it might download Trojans.”
