By the numbers, around $34 million in funds is affected, mostly Ethereum. They say in the press release that they prevented most of the unauthorized withdrawals and reimbursed the remainder, but it’s unclear how much they had to pay for reimbursements.

It's funny how many comments are about Matt Damon. That must be a pretty sticky ad campaign. It's also bizarre that I never heard of them before this marketing blitz although they seemingly have enough cash to hire Matt Damon and buy naming rights to an NFL stadium. I guess all their budget went to marketing instead of hardening their platform.
The ad campaign is notable because, much like most Perfume ads, it's downright bizarre. The ad sells a concept extremely well and then makes the leap of a lifetime for the subject that is a crazy let down. Edit: the funny thing for me is that if the ad ended with the SpaceX (or Boeing, or Northrop, or USAF) logo and gave the SpaceX employment site at the end, I'm sure it would be seen as one of the best ads of the la…

Is anyone else getting the feeling from this press release that it seems they actually don't (yet?) know how their previous 2FA system was circumvented by the attackers?

#50This is why CRO requires 24 hours whitelist before you can transact withdrawals...
Understandable yet totally absurd. Can you imagine if your bank had the same requirement?
I’ve got long term investment accounts that I hardly touch … I would have no problem with such a rule/ extra validation of any moves of money.
