Scamsters broke into BitMart’s system and stole $200 million worth of cryptocurrencies. In addition, the security breach is among the biggest scams in crypto history. The hackers made away with BabyDoge, SafeMoon, Saitama, Kishu, Dogelon Mars, Shiba Inu, CRO, Floki, SAND, among others.
The scamsters also sold close to $200 million worth of cryptos and vanished. The identity of the hackers remains to be a mystery, and investigations are underway to know ‘how did this happen’.
However, not every segment of the investors’ community believes the hack could be an outside job. Users on Twitter alleged that the BitMart hack was an inside job. They claim that the exchange firm is involved in shady transactions. Customers on Twitter have alleged that BitMart might have paid hackers to break into their own platform.
Crypto and stock market analyst Del Crxpto tweeted, “Many of us are investigating the @bitmart hack to try and ensure it was not inside manipulation, as it was with Poly Network.”
After Del’s tweet was out, many alleged that they believe BitMart hack could be an ‘insider job’. “I believe BitMart is a great hacker platform. I am not going to be surprised to know it’s an insider thing. BitMart is defrauding me on so many things, and I believe I am not only the one. They might pay people to hack their own platform,” tweeted a user.
“I believe it was an inside job. Especially after I talked with three from BitMart after they had issues with their verification problem for four days!!!! Me thinks it was definitely inside!!!, alleged another user on Twitter. “It’s starting to seem a little suspect,” alleged another on Twitter.
Did BitMart Really Hack Their Own Network?
There is no concrete proof that BitMart is involved in the hack despite all the claims and allegations on social media. The allegations are pure knee-jerk reactions to being upset about the hack with no proof that the exchange firm is involved.
The allegations pinned against BitMart are not confirmed. There are high chances that BitMart is not involved in the shady transaction either. Nobody breaks into their networks and get away with it so easily. In conclusion, the allegations against BitMart are pure hearsay and runs on rumours and speculations.
Let us all join our hands together and give BitMart the necessary time and space to investigate the matter and reveal the truth.
