Singapore-based crypto exchange Phemex has temporarily suspended withdrawals following a reported $37 million exploit targeting one of its hot wallets.
Cyvers, a blockchain security firm, detected the breach, with $29 million transferred from Phemex's hot wallets to various blockchains.
The attackers swiftly swapped the stolen tokens into Ethereum to evade detection and freezing.
Phemex is developing a compensation plan for affected users and assures that its cold wallets, which hold the majority of funds, are secure.
