Grinex Loses $13.7M in USDT After Cyberattack It Attributes to Foreign Intelligence

Grinex, a sanctioned crypto-ruble exchange, has suspended operations after losing over $13.74 million in USDT in a cyberattack. The stolen funds were drained from user wallets, converted into TRX, and consolidated into a single destination address. Grinex claims the attack was conducted by foreign intelligence services from 'hostile states,' citing forensic data that indicates a level of coordination typically reserved for state-level actors. The exchange has filed a criminal complaint and provided logs for 54 wallets to law enforcement. There is no formal plan for user reimbursement or a projected date for resuming operations.
