CZ: Ankr Attack May Caused by Developer Private Key Hacked, Hacker's $3M Frozen

CZ said on Twitter that the initial analysis shows Ankr and $HAY hacks were caused by the developer private key being hacked. The hacker updated the smart contract to a more malicious one.

Binance paused withdrawals a few hrs ago, and froze about $3m that the hackers moved to Binance. CZ also confirmed that withdrawals at the arbitrageur's address were also paused, who utilized Ankr's $aBNBc contract exploit to gain over 15m $BUSD.
