  1. #Russia -friendly exchange says "western special service" behind $15 million #cyberattack

    Grinex, a US-sanctioned #cryptocurrency exchange registered in #Kyrgyzstan , said it’s halting operations after experiencing a $13 million heist carried out by “western special services” #hackers

    Researchers from #TRM , which has confirmed the theft, put the value of stolen assets at $15 million after discovering roughly 70 drained addresses, about 16 more than #Grinex reported

  2. the kyrgyz (pronounced "Russian") #crypto exchange #Grinex (a successor to #Garantex, the exchange beloved by #ransomware gangs all over the world) was "hacked" and ~$15 million worth of user's crypto was "stolen"¹. they're blaming the CIA or MI6 or whatever.

    (also happens to be the exchange on which the #Rusian #ruble backed #stablecoin #A7A5 was launched last year)

    ¹ it might have actually been hacked but this is crypto so you should always assume it's an #exitscam until proven otherwise.
