💥 UPCX Platform Rocked by $70M Heist: Transactions Halted! 💥

Holy crypto heist, Batman! The open-source payment platform UPCX just slammed the brakes on all transactions after a jaw-dropping unauthorized withdrawal of around $70 million in digital assets. You heard that right, folks, $70 million vanished into thin air!

Blockchain security gurus at Cyvers sounded the alarm on April 1, spotting some seriously shady activity with a whopping 18.4 million UPC tokens on the move. Talk about a digital disappearing act!

Cyvers spilled the beans that some sneaky attacker hijacked a UPCX admin wallet and tinkered with its ProxyAdmin contract. Sneaky, sneaky!

This slick move let them pull off a withdrawal function, swiping funds from not one, not two, but three different management accounts. And get this, the stolen tokens are chilling in a single wallet, with no signs of the thief trying to swap or cash out. What's their game plan?

UPCX didn't waste a second, confirming they spotted the unauthorized access and hit the panic button, suspending all deposits and withdrawals. They're reassuring users that their personal funds are safe and sound, while they dig deep into an internal investigation. The hunt is on!
