As a seasoned analyst with over two decades of experience in the tech and finance sectors, I have witnessed my fair share of cyberattacks, especially in the rapidly evolving world of cryptocurrency exchanges. The news of Indodax’s alleged attack is concerning, to say the least, considering its significant user base and regulatory compliance.
It appears that the Indonesian cryptocurrency exchange Indodax has fallen victim to a cyberattack. The perpetrator managed to make off with more than $20 million in cryptocurrencies from the platform’s hot wallets.
It is reported that the cryptocurrency trading platform, formerly known as Bitcoin Indonesia and now known as Indodax, has experienced a suspected hack where large amounts of cryptocurrencies (valued in tens of millions of dollars) were taken out of the system by an unidentified party.

In a recent post dated September 11th on X, the blockchain analysis firm SlowMist expressed concern that a trading platform may have been compromised, as approximately $22 million worth of tokens were taken from the exchange’s hot wallets by an apparent hacker. Experts at Cyvers, another blockchain forensics company, suggest that the stolen tokens have since been exchanged for Ethereum (ETH), and on-chain data indicates that altcoins have also been converted into TRON (TRX), Polygon (POL), and Bitcoin (BTC).
