BitoPro’s $11.5M Crypto Heist: Exchange Stayed Silent for Weeks After Attack
Another day, another crypto exchange hack—only this time, BitoPro waited weeks to admit $11.5M vanished into the blockchain void.
Security? What security?
The breach slipped past defenses like a trader chasing leverage on a bull run. No details on how, just the cold hard number: eight figures gone.
The silence speaks volumes.
While users scrambled, BitoPro played the ’nothing to see here’ card—classic move for an industry that treats transparency like a shitcoin after a rug pull.
Regulators are already sharpening their knives. Because nothing unites bureaucrats faster than a pile of missing crypto and a paper trail thinner than a memecoin’s whitepaper.
Strategy Adds $75M in Bitcoin to Its Treasury
A third-party cybersecurity firm is now helping track the stolen funds, and BitoPro has promised to share new wallet details to support transparency.
Meanwhile, the incident adds to a growing list of crypto breaches. In late May, the Cetus DEX was hit for $220 million, and Nervos Network lost $3 million just days ago. In both cases, stolen assets were laundered using Tornado Cash.
Security experts say access control failures remain one of the most pressing risks in Web3—and the pace of high-profile hacks shows no signs of slowing down.
