On Wednesday, roughly 35 billion Korean won (around $31 million) in cryptocurrency was stolen by hackers from the South Korea-based exchange Bithumb.
According to a follow-up report from CoinDesk Korea, Bithumb conducted a security enhancement checkup on June 16, just days before the confirmed hack.
At the same time, Bithumb also started moving users’ assets to a cold wallet to store cryptocurrencies in a more secure offline environment.
The CoinDesk Korea report indicated that the hack comes at a time when Bithumb is spending 10 billion won, or around $9 million dollars annually on security measures.
Another report from Yonhap further suggests that Bithumb beefed up its security measures by implementing so-called “5.5.7 regulations” last month.
