Justin Sun, notable for his roles as the founder of TRON, and the lead executive at Poloniex and HTX (previously known as Huobi), has publicized a forthcoming airdrop to compensate victims impacted by the contemporary cyber attacks on both exchanges. He additionally provided the community with updates regarding HTX’s resumption of withdrawals for certain TRX-dependent cryptocurrencies.
HTX experienced its first significant security breach in late September, resulting in the theft of crypto assets approximating $8 million. Sun would later announce that the perpetrator had returned the stolen assets, labelling the incident as a “white-hat” breach. Poloniex, another crypto exchange headed by Sun, also fell prey to a similar hacking operation in mid-November. Initially reported as a $63 million loss, the actual theft summed up to a staggering $125 million. Earlier this week, HTX and the HECO chain bridge were affected by an exploit that speculated nearly $90 million in stolen crypto. Amid ongoing investigations, Sun assured users of both platforms that their losses would be completely reimbursed, promising an “epic airdrop” for affected users as HTX and Poloniex planned to resume their deposit and withdrawal services.
