OKX responded to the DEX attack incident. After verification, this incident was caused by the theft of the management rights of an abandoned OKX DEX market maker contract that is no longer in use, and the assets of 18 addresses authorized for the contract were transferred. The affected contracts have been deactivated and all user assets have been confirmed to be safe. All affected users lost approximately US$370,000, and the platform will compensate them as soon as possible after the statistics are completed. At the same time, the platform will initiate judicial procedures to recover relevant losses.
OKX stated that the platform will conduct a security self-examination in the future and reorganize all related abandoned contracts to avoid such incidents from happening again. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused to users.
