"Grinex stated, "The digital footprints and nature of the attack indicate an unprecedented level of resources and technology available exclusively to the structures of unfriendly states." This highlights the sophistication of the attack and its implications for national security."
"Grinex emphasized, "Due to the attack, the Grinex exchange is forced to suspend operations." This decision reflects the severity of the breach and the immediate impact on the exchange's functionality."
Grinex, a cryptocurrency exchange in Kyrgyzstan, has suspended operations following a $13 million theft linked to western special services hackers. Researchers from TRM confirmed the loss, estimating stolen assets at $15 million across 70 addresses. Grinex reported ongoing attacks since its inception 16 months ago, with the latest targeting Russian users. The exchange claims the attack aimed to damage Russia's financial sovereignty. Law enforcement has been notified, and a criminal case is being initiated. Another exchange, TokenSpot, was also breached, indicating a coordinated attack.
