Scandal in a noble family: the Coinsecure exchange was hacked

In a notice to its clients, Indian cryptocurrency exchange Coinsecure said that hackers stole 438 BTC from the platform - $3 million at today's exchange rate.

Later it turned out that it was not a hack that occurred, but the disclosure of private keys to the exchange’s offline wallets, as a result of which the attackers managed to seize BTC without leaving any traces of the hack. In addition, the entire history of hacked wallets was deleted. This information could help investigators shed light on what happened. 

The unpleasant news was followed by the following message: on the exchange website, Coinsecure CEO Mohit Kalra accused the head of his company’s security department. He also said that he had filed a formal complaint of theft with the New Delhi Police. In it, he directly stated that he suspected his colleague, Amitabh Saxena, of theft and asked the police and security services of the country to block her passport, since he was convinced that she would leave the country in the near future. His suspicions are based on the fact that only he and Amitabh had the keys to the exchange’s main wallet.

Coinsecure representatives in an official letter to the exchange’s clients said that all stolen funds would be returned to the victims, regardless of the amount of losses.
