According to the experts of security company PeckShield, the attacker has exchanged ERC-20 tokens, including Route, Rio Fuel, MATIC, REVV, Clearpool and MAPS, for Ethereum through decentralized exchange Uniswap.
The sales volume has exceeded $1 million and the hacker has aggregated funds in one wallet. At the moment, the address contains 2,459 ETH or $7.2 million.
AscendEX confirmed on December 12 it had fallen victim to a hack of its Ethereum, Polygon and Binance Smart Chain hot wallets.
PeckShield has estimated the damage at $77.7 million. The largest amount of stolen assets fell on tokens in the Ethereum network with about $60 million.
AscendEX was founded in 2018 under the name BitMax. In March 2021, the company changed its name.
