Mixin Kernel stated on social media that in the early morning of September 23, 2023 Hong Kong time, the database of the Mixin Network cloud service provider was hacked, resulting in the loss of some assets on the main network. We have contacted Google and blockchain security company SlowMist to assist in the investigation.
After preliminary verification, the funds involved were approximately US$200 million. Deposit and withdrawal services on the Mixin network have been temporarily suspended. After discussion and consensus among all nodes, these services will be reopened once the vulnerability is confirmed and fixed. During this period, transfers will not be affected.
Regarding how to deal with lost assets, the Mixin team will announce solutions later. Mixin founder Feng Xiaodong will explain the incident in a public Mandarin live broadcast at 13:00 on September 25, 2023, Hong Kong time. We will do our best to reduce the loss and apologize for this.
