The official Twitter account of the Shiba Inu cryptocurrency has posted a tweet in support of the BitMart exchange to lend the embattled trading platform a helping hand:  

As reported by U.Today, BitMart was robbed of nearly $200 million on Saturday in what appears to be one of the largest hacking incidents in recent times.

The attacker managed to steal nearly 900 billion Shiba Inu tokens together with over 20 other tokens on Ethereum and Binance Smart Chain.

The BitMart exchange is currently conducting a security review, with withdrawals remaining suspended for the time being.   

Major cryptocurrency exchange Huobi offered its assistance in freezing transactions related to the incident.

Last week, Celsius Network admitted that it was one of the victims of the BadgerDAO hack, but it didn’t disclose how much exactly it lost.
