While it was explained that the attack stemmed from a <strong>server vulnerability<\/strong> in the company&#8217;s internal systems used for liquidity provision, it was stated that <strong>user assets were not affected<\/strong>, and the damage incurred would be covered by <strong>CoinDCX&#8217;s own budget<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The company is currently collaborating with its partners to <strong>freeze and recover the stolen assets<\/strong>. Additionally, a <strong>bug bounty program<\/strong> is expected to be launched soon. Through this, the company aims to prevent similar scenarios, like the one that just occurred, from happening in the future. Another noteworthy point regarding this attack is its timing, precisely one year after another Indian exchange, <strong>WazirX<\/strong>, was hacked. The <strong>WazirX<\/strong> case was linked to the North Korea-affiliated <strong>Lazarus Group<\/strong> at the time, but no group has claimed responsibility for the current <strong>CoinDCX<\/strong> attack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">You Might Also Like;<\/h3>\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-latest-posts__list wp-block-latest-posts\"><\/ul>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CoinDCX, one of India&#8217;s largest cryptocurrency exchanges, has fallen victim to a new attack method, resulting in a loss of $44 million.
