Cryptocurrencies: DragonEx Has Been Hacked

Singapore-based exchange DragonEx says it has been hacked for an undisclosed amount in a number of cryptocurrencies.

DragonEx announced the news on its official Telegram channel on Monday, stating that, on Sunday, March 24, it had suffered a cyberattack that saw cryptocurrency funds owned by users and the exchange “transferred and stolen.” No information has yet been provided on the value of the losses.

On Sunday, apparently as the breach was first being discovered, DragonEx first took its platform offline saying it was upgrading its systems. Later the same day, it announced that it was “still working on system maintenance,” before finally disclosing that it had been hacked yesterday.

“Part of the assets were retrieved back, and we will do our best to retrieve back the rest of stolen assets,” DragonEx said in Monday’s Telegram announcement.
