India’s WazirX confirms security breach following a $230M ‘suspicious transfer’

WazirX halted withdrawals after a multisig wallet breach led to an estimated $230 million loss; investigators say a discrepancy between Liminal’s interface and the signed transaction (suspected payload replacement) allowed attackers to transfer control and drain funds. Blockchain data shows large transfers of many tokens and attempts to offload assets via Uniswap, and third-party analysis (Elliptic) reported a possible affiliation between the hackers and North Korea.
