🚨 Triple-A losses reach $11.8M after breach in its hot wallets
Security alarms in the crypto payments industry are lighting up again. On-chain investigator Specter reported that the estimated losses from the apparent compromise of the payment gateway’s hot wallets (hot wallets) at Triple-A have risen to approximately $11.8 million.
📉 Key points of the incident:
Continuous siphoning of funds: According to NS3.AI data, more than 31 hours after the first anomalous outflows were recorded, new deposits were still arriving at the compromised addresses, which were automatically drained.
Company’s official position: Triple-A confirmed that it is actively investigating the incident and stated that customers’ funds have not been affected.
Lesson for the industry: The event once again highlights that the most critical operational security risks remain concentrated in network-connected infrastructure (hot wallets and administrative access), rather than in the base layers of blockchain networks.
💬 What do you think about this incident? Do you believe payment platforms should review their automatic diversion protocols when breaches are detected?
