Nobitex Source Code Leaked Just 24 Hours After Multi-Network Crypto Heist—Bitcoin, EVM, and Ripple Hit

Hackers pulled off a cross-chain smash-and-grab—then Nobitex's code mysteriously hit the web. Coincidence? The crypto underworld never sleeps.

The breach: A trifecta of pain

Attackers drained wallets across Bitcoin, EVM-compatible chains, and Ripple's network in a surgical strike. Security teams were left scrambling as transactions blitzed through multiple ledgers simultaneously.

Open-source aftermath raises eyebrows

Exactly one day post-heist, Nobitex's proprietary code appeared online. 'Transparency' or a hacker's parting gift? Either way, it's a masterclass in how not to handle a crisis—Wall Street bankers are taking notes for their next 'cybersecurity drill.'

The incident exposes crypto's eternal paradox: decentralized networks, centralized points of failure. Until exchanges fix their hot wallet habits, thieves will keep treating them like ATMs—just without the withdrawal limits.
