Different Hackers Steal $32 Million of Ethereum
Hackers were able to exploit a vulnerability in Parity’s Ethereum Wallet software to the tune of $32 million this week.
The attackers compromised at least three company accounts and stole 153,000 units of Ether. Parity says the vulnerability affected the contract used to create multi-signature Ethereum wallets in Parity version 1.5 or later, warning its users to move their Ether from their in-browser wallets to more secure accounts immediately.
The victims of the attack have been identified as Swarm City, aeternity blockchain, and Edgeless Casino. As the attack occurred, white hat hackers used the same exploit to steal 377,000 Ether worth $75 Million and secure them from black hat hackers, to be returned when the attack is done.
