•[ data breach, cryptocurrency theft, leaked secrets ]
The blockchain gaming platform WEMIX was hacked, resulting in the theft of about 8.65 million WEMIX tokens (worth roughly $6.1 million). The breach stemmed from attackers obtaining authentication keys for the NFT monitoring service NILE, likely via a shared repository. After gaining the keys, the threat actors spent about two months preparing before executing 15 withdrawal attempts of which 13 succeeded. The stolen tokens were swiftly laundered through multiple crypto exchanges. WEMIX shut down the affected server on February 28 and later disclosed the incident, migrating their infrastructure to a more secure environment.
