In response to this matter, the BTG core development team replied that the target of the attack was a top exchange in the world. After the attack occurred, the BTG team contacted it as soon as possible to remind them to adjust the parameters and improve the risk control level. Due to the timely adoption of risk control measures, the loss of the exchange is much lower than the reversal transaction amount. According to recent monitoring, the team found that the attack computing power originated from the computing power leasing platform NiceHash, which caused a reversal of 14 and 15 blocks respectively.

According to statistics, the number of addresses where Upbit’s stolen ETH is currently stored in the third and fourth levels is in the early 100,000 ETH level, which means that more than two-thirds of the stolen 342,000 ETH have been laundered.
