Weitere Details/Vermutungen zum Kucoin Hack
Aus den $150 Millionen wurden $200 Millionen und jetzt ist schon die Rede von $275 Millionen USD.
Interessant auch die Aussagen weiter unten, dass nur wenige Exchanges viel in Audits, Erlangung von Sicherheits-Standard und ähnliches investieren.
Ob Kucoin das wirklich noch alles auffangen kann... Hoffen wir mal, dass tatsächlich die meisten Funds wieder irgendwie zurückgebracht/erstattet werden können...
Madeleine Kennedy, senior director of communications at Chainalysis — a global cryptocurrency analytics company — pointed out that her firm has found that more than $275 million in crypto funds have most likely been compromised, which makes this one of the largest hacks of a cryptocurrency exchange in recorded history.

It’s worth mentioning that over the course of the last few years, the security industry has developed several security standards to enable customers to decide who to trust with their assets. Auditing procedures such as SOC2 and ISO 27001 provide rigorous external validation of technologies and processes. Binance and Crypto.com, for example, claim to adopt ISO 27001.
On the subject, Dyma Budorin, a co-founder and the CEO of Hacken — a crypto-oriented cybersecurity firm — told Cointelegraph that a majority of exchanges today are like black boxes, i.e., no one knows how their private keys are managed: “Only a few crypto exchanges like Kraken, Gemini and Binance are investing a lot of money to prove proper internal controls over their personal private keys management protocols.”
A similar opinion is shared by Tom Albright, the CEO of Bittrex Global — a cryptocurrency exchange — who believes that too many exchanges these days treat security as an inconvenience, adding:
“As more and more mainstream investors get involved in crypto, there will be more vulnerable participants in the ecosystem, and exchanges have to do even more to protect these customers and help them protect themselves.”
