The news has not been confirmed yet. I have been working on Coinex for years, but I do not trade on a daily basis. When I heard the news, I logged into my account and there did not seem to be anything strange, not even an announcement about hacking.
I also went to the official Twitter account of Coinex. There is no news about hacking either, the exchange website is working normally so far and nothing strange.
We have to wait for an official confirmation or denial from Coinex.

That's bad news I'm using Coinex to trade and transfer some coins from Viabtc to Coinex.
I tried to contact them just now and it's confirmed that they having some issues all withdraw and deposit is currently suspended.
I asked them about the news and this is what they said.

The last one was Staked.com. Although Stake is not an exchange but a gambling site, but it is still centralized and holding customers fund on hot wallet which makes them vulnerable to the hack. Centralized exchanges that have been hacked before are because of the hot wallet that they are using.
Not good to hold coins on exchanges. If $18 million worth of coins is stolen from the exchange, it is not going to be easy.
Edit: I do not know how true this is, that more coins are stolen. That $27.8 million in ether, tron and polygon has been stolen.

Another day, another hack and it time seems like its Coinex turn. Still waiting for the official confirmation from Coinex though, for which will probably take some time.
Edit: iunfortunately it has been confirmed, hack indeed happened https://twitter.com/coinexcom/status/1701651414991397176
