New Delhi, 19th August 2024: Weeks after WazirX, a cryptocurrency exchange, was targeted by a cyberattack resulting in the theft of digital assets exceeding $230 million (Rs 2,000 crores) from one of their Multisig wallets, they have received a clean chit from a globally renowned and leading cybersecurity and investigations firm. WazirX engaged the cybersecurity firm to conduct a forensic analysis. As part of this investigation, one of their tasks was to determine if any of the three laptops used by WazirX team members for performing transactions had been compromised.
On August 14, the said cybersecurity and investigations firm submitted a report stating, “We did not identify evidence of compromise on the three laptops that were used for signing transactions.”
The wallet that was attacked was managed using Liminal’s digital asset custody and wallet infrastructure. A spokesperson for WazirX said, “We have full faith in the investigating agency and shall cooperate with them to the fullest extent. We are actively working on recovering the stolen funds and are hopeful that those responsible will be brought to justice.”
