More than $600 million has been stolen in looking like one of the biggest cryptocurrency thefts ever.
Hackers exploited a vulnerability in Poly Network, a platform that looks to connect different blockchains so that they can work together.
Poly Network disclosed the attack on Twitter and asked to establish communication with the hackers, and urged them to “return the hacked assets".
Researchers at security company SlowMist said a total of more than $610 million worth of cryptocurrency was transferred to three different addresses.
