Binance announced the stoppage of trading and depositing of “COVER” tokens, a peer-to-peer insurance system.
The move was taken after a possible hack that allowed the creation of 11,761 COVER tokens or the equivalent of $ 3.62 million, according to youtuber and analyst Ivan on Tech.
The tokens were sold on decentralized exchanges (DEX) in six transactions that transformed the token into WETH and then into WBTC, apparently the hacker wants to turn everything into bitcoin.
