EXMO says that it has temporarily suspended all withdrawals after detecting suspicious and large withdrawals starting with December 21st, at 2:27:02 UTC.
"We are still investigating the incident, but as of now, the security audit report showed that some amounts of BTC, XRP, ZEC, USDT, ETC and ETH in EXMO’s hot wallets were transferred out of the exchange," EXMO said.
"We reacted immediately and re-deployed hot wallets. The affected hot wallets comprise near 5% of the total assets. Let us stress that all the assets in the cold wallets are safe."
