3.07 million EOS ($EOS) worth some $13 million was stolen from Korean crypto exchange Bithumb's own hot wallets in what looks like an inside job. The 'abnormal withdrawal' was noticed Friday night to which Bithumb responded with total account suspensions. No external tampering evidence has been found. Bithumb has notified government agencies and has removed the remainder of its funds to cold wallet storage.
