Exchange Bitrue, which is based in Singapore, was subjected to a hacker attack that night. As a result, the criminals were able to remove the Cardano (ADA) coins and the Ripple XRP token from the site. The hacker used what they learned from this breach to then access the Bitrue hot wallet and move 9.3 million XRP and 2.5 million ADA to different exchanges. — Bitrue (@BitrueOfficial) 27 июня 2019 г. Bitrue officials said the hacker was able to find a vulnerability in the platform’s risk control system last night. This helped him get access to approximately 90 accounts of traders of the exchange. As a result, he brought to other trading platforms about 9.3 million XRP (about $4 million), as well as about 2.5 million ADA (about $230 thousand).
