According to an announcement by the Everscale team, a considerable number of EVER tokens have been stolen.

Everscale has since taken active measures in conjunction with partner exchanges Bithumb and Coinone.

These exchanges have suspended deposits and withdrawals specifically for Wrapped EVER (WEVER) tokens, with native EVER tokens remaining secure and unaffected on Octus Bridge.

The Everscale team has confirmed that this incident of token theft is a result of fraudulent activities.

They note that there was no intrusion into the network itself, and no decentralised applications integrated with the blockchain have been compromised.

They also clarified that the stolen tokens were of the ERC20 variety, and not the native coin itself.

Missing Key Details

Key details, such as the exact number of stolen tokens, the method employed for the theft, and the cause of the recent decline in $EVER token value, have not been disclosed at this time.

As of time of publication, Everscale has dropped at least 60% from its high in September this year.

Everscale has also temporarily disconnected Octus Bridge, in their effort to thwart the parties responsible for this breach.
