[BitMart Claims to Have Been Hacked Yesterday, Suspected to be Linked to the Mercado Bitcoin Hacking] BitMart founder Sheldon Xia posted on the X platform that BitMart was also hacked yesterday, involving a smaller amount of money. The platform has quickly investigated and strengthened security measures. Due to restructuring, BitMart has retained only its core team. User doxing and threats, as well as retaliation from some disgruntled employees, including former marketing operations head Elly, have made many technical staff unwilling to stay in an environment facing personal attacks to maintain the system. After extensive communication, some key technical staff were persuaded to stay and maintain the core system. Sheldon stated that the platform still faces numerous attacks, and the security team is currently severely understaffed, but is still doing its best to protect data and assets. Preliminary investigations indicate that yesterday's attack may have been carried out by the same group that attacked Mercado Bitcoin in Brazil.
