ZB, care în sine „cel mai sigur schimb de active digitale din lume”, aparent a fost piratat

On Wednesday (August 3), blockchain security firm PeckShield reported that around $4.8 million has been transferred out of crypto exchange ZB.

On its website and in its Twitter bio, ZB calls itself the world’s most secure crypto exchange, as you can see from the screenshot below (taken at 6:27 p.m. UTC on August 3):

Here is some information about the ZB exchange:

Founded in early 2013, CHBTC.com has been a reliable digital asset trading platform. Due to Chinese Regulatory compliance，CHBTC had ceased all trading activity on 30th September, 2017. CHBTC dismissed the Chinese operation team and let the overseas operation team take over. Since then, CHBTC changed its name to ZB.com and focus on international operation.

ZB has offices in Dubai, Malaysia, Singapore, Australia, Russia, South Korea, Hong Kong, Switzerland and the United States. ZB platform uses multiple technical security protections to build a professional financial-level digital asset trading network.

At 2:39 p.m. UTC on August 3, PeckShield tweeted:

And at 3:21 p.m. UTC on August 3, PeckShield provided a detailed breakdown of the tokens that had allegedly been transferred out of the ZB exchange:

Around 8:25 a.m. UTC on Tuesday (August 2), ZB announced that it had “temporarily” suspended deposits and withdrawals due to the “sudden failure of some core applications.”

ZB also posted the following announcement to its website at that time:

A raportează — published at 4:35 p.m. UTC on August 3 — by The Block about ZB stated:

Datele în lanț arată cantități semnificative de peste 20 de jetoane cripto care se deplasează din portofelul fierbinte al ZB.com către un alt adresa de marți. Această adresă a lichidat ulterior toate aceste jetoane, cu excepția celor cinci, în momentul publicării.

Aceste jetoane au fost vândute pe mai multe schimburi descentralizate marți, în schimbul a 2,224 ETH (3.6 milioane USD). Potențialul hacker a mutat fondurile către acest adresa portofelului în care se află încă jetoanele eter în momentul publicării. Între timp, un alt portofel controlat de presupusul hacker – unde au fost mutate pentru prima dată fondurile din portofelul ZB.com – încă deține aproximativ 1 milion de dolari din cele cinci jetoane rămase.

Please note that (as of 7:00 p.m. UTC on August 3) ZB still has not confirmed that it has been hacked. We’ll update this article as more details become available.
