Hackers at Work Again: They Targeted a Cryptocurrency Platform, Here’s the Amount of Loss

KiloEx, a decentralized perpetual trading platform, suffered a massive hack that resulted in losses of approximately $7 million. The attack affected multiple blockchains, including BNB Chain, Base, and Taiko. According to blockchain security firm Cyvers, the attacker used an address funded through Tornado Cash to execute the on-chain attack.
