About FTX Hack

The U.S. Department of Justice has reportedly launched a criminal probe into the alleged hack that drained nearly $400 million out of FTX-controlled wallets the night the Bahamas-based exchange filed for bankruptcy. Bloomberg first reported the news on Tuesday, citing persons familiar with the case. Between November 11 and the early hours of November 12, massive outflows of cryptocurrencies began moving out of FTX and FTX US’s wallets. Multiple FTX employees told Twitter sleuth ZachXBT that they didn't recognize the transfers. Over an hour after the suspected hack began, FTX General Counsel Ryne Miller tweeted that his company was “investigating abnormalities with wallet movements” and later pinned a message in FTX’s official Telegram support channel: “FTX has been hacked. FTX apps are malware. Delete them. Chat is open. Don’t go on FTX site as it might download Trojans.” [Source](https://www.coindesk.com/policy/2022/12/27/doj-launches-criminal-probe-into-400m-ftx-hack-bloomberg)
