Mercado Bitcoin halted its operations following a major hack.

Brazil’s largest platform suspended withdrawals and deposits due to a security incident.

The stolen amount is estimated at $40 million.

What’s interesting is that Tether acted quickly and froze more than 4.5 million $USDT linked to the attack.

It’s a reminder of how centralization can help stop hackers in the act.

What do you think of this measure taken by Tether?
