The Stake Betting Platform’s security has faced scrutiny due to substantial cryptocurrency outflows, amounting to $41 million. These outflows have raised security worries about a potential breach.
Additionally, according to on-chain analysts, an alarming pattern of transactions has unfolded, suggesting a possible security breach. Initially, data from the analyst firm Cyvers revealed that $15.7 million had been withdrawn from the platform. This amount consisted of 6,000 ethers (equivalent to $9.8 million) and $5.9 million in stablecoins.
Subsequently, information was brought to light by ZachXBT, unveiling an additional $25.6 million leaving wallets associated with Stake on two different blockchain networks: $17.8 million on BNB Chain and $7.8 million on Polygon.
Moreover, these transfers exceeded $41 million, involving multiple cryptocurrency addresses across three blockchain networks. ZachXBT’s findings were corroborated by the security company Beosin.
