Reports reaching us at Bitcoinist are that the Justin Sun-led Poloniex crypto exchange has been hacked and the attackers are currently siphoning funds away from the exchange at an alarming rate. So far, over $60 million in crypto is suspected to be already stolen spanning digital assets such as Tron (TRX), Pepe (PEPE), and Magic (MAGIC), among others.
Poloniex Crypto Exchange Under Attack
The attack was first brought to light by Peckshield which noticed unusual transactions from wallets linked to Poloniex. The blockchain security firm then took to X (formerly Twitter) to point out the transactions to the crypto exchange.
Hi @Poloniex, you may want to take a look: @justinsuntron https://t.co/UobItZ9FpO

Poloniex did not acknowledge the attack but had updated the community that it had frozen its wallet for maintenance. However, it was a little too late as the attackers had already made off with a significant amount of assets.
