![[hlink][/hlink] The Slovakian crypto exchange suffered a targeted hack attack on Monday night. Crypto exchanges are the favorite targets of cybercriminals because let's face it, it can make you multi-millionaire within seconds and which is why attacking them is such common practice among hackers. This time, Eterbase, a Bratislava, Slovakia based cryptocurrency exchange was attacked, and a whopping $5 million were stolen. The notorious cybercriminals emptied several of its Hot Wallets and stole different types of cryptocurrencies. Hot wallets are those storages connected to the internet, whereas Cold Wallets aren’t accessible via the internet. Eterbase confirmed the news on its Telegram and Twitter channels on Tuesday, stating that six hot wallets of the exchange containing ether (ETH), ERC-20 tokens, bitcoin (BTC), XRP, Algorand (ALGO), and Tezos (XTZ) were compromised. In its official announcement, the exchange has also confirmed assets worth approximately $ 5.4 million were stolen.

We want to assure our clients that we are taking all necessary steps to ensure that the amount of their deposit does not suffer any damage as a result of a hacker attack.” [hlink][/hlink] The exchange’s social media channels controller Nenad Ristic stated that personal information wasn’t stolen, and the company has enough funds available to oblige its customers.
