The WOO X team said the breach was detected quickly, and the exchange had already contacted affected users and blocked a number of suspicious withdrawal attempts.
“As we continue with the investigation, we can confirm losses of $14m from the affected accounts. These users will have all funds covered,” said the WOO X team.

Blockchain security firm Cyvers found that the hackers moved funds across multiple blockchain networks, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, BNB, and Arbitrum. They swapped around $1 million in USDT for ETH, and transferred $7.3 million worth of tokens to new wallets.
