CoinDCX Absorbs $44M Security Breach Loss, Funds Safe
Imagine a bank got robbed, but the bank's money wasn't taken, and the bank decides to pay for the loss themselves.
That's similar to what's happening with CoinDCX, a company that deals with digital money (cryptocurrency).
They had a security issue, losing $44 million, but it didn't affect their customers' money because it was kept safe in special offline storage.
The company is covering the loss using its own money, and it's like a few months of their earnings.
They're also not looking to sell or raise more money right now, and are focusing on improving security.
CoinDCX will absorb a $44 million loss from a security breach.
The breach, which occurred in July, will be covered by the company's balance sheet.
Customer funds were not affected as they were held in cold wallets.
Initial investigations point to a social engineering attack.
CoinDCX clarified it's not in capital raising discussions, with a valuation of $2.5 billion.
