Coindash Malicious Code Injection Attack: $7.40M Reported Loss

·Historical incident record

Incident Overview

Hacker steals $7.4 million in ethereum during CoinDash ICO launch. At the time of the ICO, in which CoinDash posted a string of characters which represented its wallet address for investors to send funds to, it appears that the hacker compromised the website and changed this text to a wallet they control. It was a matter of minutes before the platform realized the security breach had taken place and warned investors, but it was too late -- and now the stolen funds intended for CoinDash are simply sitting in a wallet awaiting collection.
