The OKX stock exchange announced that a hacker obtained the personal information of a very small number of customers by forging documents. In the statement made, it was noted that the matter was forwarded to the judicial authorities and detailed information could not be given.

As it will be remembered, it was stated that the accounts of two users of the OKX exchange were emptied in the allegations on X over the weekend. Blockchain security company SlowMist informed that users received risk notification SMS from Hong Kong and drew attention to the similarities between the two incidents.

Dilation Effect, a Web3 security firm, claimed that the hacker infiltrated user accounts by exploiting a vulnerability in OKX. The company stated that phone verification with “Google Authentication” was turned off and thus the 24-hour blocking measure did not work.

However, OKX announced that this was not the case and that no security vulnerabilities had been identified, saying: “The incident has nothing to do with Google Authenticator or SMS verifications.”

OKX also stated that compensation payments have been made to affected users and will continue to be made if the number of affected users increases.
