On November 16, the platform was hacked, affecting at least 900 users. Most victims lost up to $1,000, but one account lost assets worth more than $1 million.
According to initial reports, the total damage reached $21 million. This made the incident the second largest in November, after the $25.5 million hack of DeFi protocol Thala.
As of November 29, the cumulative losses of DEXX have increased to $30 million, Cointelegraph reported, citing the founder of SlowMist under the nickname Cos. The expert explained that this is due to significant fluctuations in the price of meme coins.
Earlier, SlowMist specialists recorded the conversion of coins to Solana by a hacker. According to Cos, they also plan to publish suspicious addresses on Ethereum, BNB Chain and Base soon.
After the attack, the DEXX team offered the hacker via social media to return the tokens for a reward. The developers warned that they are tracking the funds with the aim of freezing them, and have also contacted law enforcement agencies.
According to the platform’s representative, they do not stop trying to contact the hacker, but he does not make contact.
The DEXX team is in talks to raise funding to compensate users and resolve security issues to restart the terminal. However, the amount of compensation will depend on the value of the funds that can be returned, the manager of the platform admitted.
According to a report by Immunefi, in November, the crypto industry lost about $71 million due to 26 incidents. All of them were related to DeFi projects.
Almost all losses were caused by hacker attacks — $70.99 million in 24 cases. Two rug pull schemes totaled $25,300.
We will remind, according to PeckShield, on November 28, the centralized XT exchange lost $1.7 million as a result. The platform team confirmed the unauthorized transaction. The incident was not included in the statistics from Immunefi.
