The exchange received emails from Liminal with the correct destination addresses, implying that Liminal’s system was breached, WazirX claimed.
A preliminary investigation of the July 18 WazirX cryptocurrency exchange hack did not find “any evidence that WazirX signers’ machines were compromised,” according to a July 25 report from the exchange’s team. The post suggested that a breach in the system of multi-party computation (MPC) wallet provider Liminal may have been the cause of the $235 million exploit.
Liminal previously released a report suggesting that compromised WazirX machines were the cause of the exploit.
“Our preliminary findings have not found any evidence that WazirX signers’ machines were compromised,” the July 25 WazirX report states. The team is conducting a “thorough forensic analysis to uncover the full details of the cyber attack” and will share “conclusive evidence” of what happened once this analysis is complete.
