At block height 11,234,873, the Ethereum blockchain has suffered an unintended hard fork that split its blockchain into two. The split occurred due to a code change that was inserted into a previous update, which was ignored by some node operators.
Johnny Lyu, co-founder and CEO of the hacked Singapore-based cryptocurrency exchange KuCoin, has revealed the trading platform recovered 84% of the assets that were stolen from it back in September.
A total of $7.6 billion worth of cryptocurrencies have been stolen by hackers and scammers since 2011, according to a new report published by Amsterdam-based blockchain analytics firm Crystal Blockchain.
