According to ChainCatcher's message, the Wemix Foundation, a blockchain subsidiary of Wemade, has disclosed that it lost approximately 8.65 million WEMIX tokens (worth about $6.22 million) due to a hacking attack. Wemix's CEO, Kim Seok-hwan, stated that the hacker is unlikely to be the North Korean organization Lazarus Group, but rather a professional who infiltrated the system by stealing the service monitoring authentication keys of the Non-Fungible Token (NFT) platform Nile. It is reported that the hacker had been preparing for this attack for two months and made 15 withdrawal attempts, of which 13 were successful.
Kim Seok-hwan also revealed that they plan to reopen all Wemix services on Friday and will upgrade their security measures on the new blockchain infrastructure.
