On July 18, Cyvers Alert reported that Web3 security firm Cyvers detected âmultiple suspicious transactionsâ involving WazirXâs Safe Multisig wallet on Ethereum. They believe that $234.9 million of funds were moved to a new address, with each transactionâs caller funded by Tornado Cash, a decentralized protocol for private transactions. The new address has already converted Tether ($USDT), Pepe ($PEPE), and Gala ($GALA) into Ether ($ETH).
In response to the security breach, WazirX has temporarily halted cryptocurrency and INR withdrawals on its platform. In an X post, the WazirX team stated they are âactively investigating the incidentâ and will provide updates as the situation develops.
