Oh dear me! It seems that the merry little cryptocurrency marketplace of WOO X has suddenly decided to take a breather and stop allowing people to withdraw their precious coins. Why, you ask? Well, the bodacious sum of $14 million has decided to play a game of hide-and-seek, thanks to a jolly little exploit. The folk at WOO X assure everyone they swiftly “contained” the antics. 🧐💸
- WOO X confirmed that a handful of nine accounts had a rather unfortunate encounter with an exploit, resulting in a jaw-dropping loss of $14 million! How delightfully tragic! 😱
- According to our sleuthing friends at Cyvers Alerts, the attack involved some cheeky shenanigans impacting Bitcoin, Ethereum, BNB, and every digital creature on the Arbitrum networks over at WOO X.
- The exchange is now on a treasure hunt to investigate this caper with the help of cyber detectives and crypto-whisperers, promising all affected users they’ll be reimbursed. Everyone loves a happy ending! 🎩✨
WOO X, which is powered by the elusive WOO (WOO) token, reported they experienced this dastardly act on July 24. Just nine unsuspecting users were bitten by this naughty attack. 🐍
All this hullabaloo resulted in a loss of—wait for it—$14 million! Yes, you could buy a whole lot of sweets with that! 🍭🍬 The alarm bells rang as reports from crypto watchdogs spilled the beans.
What on earth happened?
Well, according to those vigilant folks at Cyvers Alerts, their clever little system detected a slew of what they called “suspicious transactions.” Such a fancy term! The attack made quite the mess for Bitcoin, Ethereum, BNB, and Arbitrum, like a toddler with a box of crayons! 🖍️
As for the devious details, one particularly suspicious address on Ethereum received $1 million of USDT straight from WOO X’s hot wallet. And guess what? That wallet got cheeky and swapped the stablecoin for ETH! Then, like magic, $7.3 million wiggled its way off to a new address. Poof! Gone! 🪄✨
On the BNB Chain, an address belonging to the rascally attacker nabbed 5 Bitcoin BEP2, or BTCB, from our unfortunate victims. Who knew that robbers could play at swaps like a kid trading sandwiches? 🥪
WOO puts the brakes on withdrawals
In a flash, our quick-thinking friends at WOO X jumped into action to contain the ruckus. They penned a note that said, “We’re currently investigating a contained incident that occurred on WOO X earlier today. While user funds and trading are unaffected, withdrawals have been temporarily paused.” They do love a grand show of taking precautions! 🎭
Stay tuned to this account for updates! We promise we’ll do our best to keep our dear users happy and informed! 🎉

At first, the team was very confident that no user funds or trading were harmed in this episode. However, as the investigation carried on, they confirmed that nine poor souls were indeed caught in the crossfire of this mischievous scheme.
“As we continue with the investigation, we can confirm losses of $14 million from the affected accounts. These users will have all funds covered,” WOO X chirped on X. 🐦
The platform reached out to the unfortunate customers quicker than a rabbit on a sugar rush, assuring all unauthorized withdrawals would be reimbursed. Meanwhile, external security teams and exchanges are helping them keep the naughty funds from running off any further.
Crypto losses in 2025
Just a few days earlier, on July 19, hackers pulled off a heist so big that it stole $44 million from the CoinDCX crypto exchange, assisted by a little trickery known as Tornado Cash. Ah, those crafty criminals really do have a flair for the dramatic! 🎭
These bellyaching losses follow research that suggests most crypto threats are exploiting human behavior—imagine that! And to add spice, they’re even deploying artificial intelligence tools like a magician pulling rabbits out of hats! 🎩🐇
As of today, already more than $3.1 billion has disappeared in the first half of 2025 alone—absolutely eclipsing what happened in 2024. Who knew crypto could be such a wild ride? Buckle up, folks! 🎢
