The Shiba Inu Team Advocates Increased Security Amid the WazirX Attack

The recent WazirX attack has led to a series of debates and discussions in the crypto and blockchain space. WazirX is a well-known cryptocurrency exchange platform situated in India; the company has had a serious security breach that involved Shiba Inu. Shiba Inu is a prominent dog-themed meme coin that has become popular among investors. Insiders reveal that the security breach led to the loss of trillions of SHIB tokens, a significant loss at any scale. Lucie, the head of the Shiba Inu market, expressed her sympathies to all the parties affected by the attack, which led to the loss of millions of dollars. 

Analysts point out that the number of cryptocurrency hacks has increased over recent years, signaling the vulnerabilities in the crypto ecosystem. These hacks have resulted in losses summing up to billions of dollars. In recent events, WazirX is the most recent victim of these hacks. Hackers infiltrated WazirX a few hours ago. Lookonchain, a renowned on-chain tracker in X (FKA Twitter), pointed out that the hack resulted in the loss of over $230 million worth of digital assets, which include Shiba Inu, PEPE, Ethereum, MATIC, GALA, and USDT. 

The hackers made Shiba Inu their primary target, pilfering 5.43 Trillion SHIB tokens valued at $102 million. Lookonchain pointed out that WazirX sent the stolen money to 0x04b2, an address that has remained unknown until now. Lookonchain notes that since the first hack, assets and stolen goods, including 640.27 billion PEPE tokens worth $7.6 million, have been sent to this anonymous address. 

Investors and traders in the cryptocurrency space are generally disturbed by this security compromise. The effect of the hack is most felt by investors who own SHIB tokens on WazirX. Lucie from Shiba Inu addressed SHIB traders and investors who were impacted by the hack.
