Kraken regards the "theft" of millions of dollars in crypto assets by CertiK white hat hackers as a "criminal case."

ChainCatcher news, Kraken's Chief Strategy Officer Nick Percoco stated that the trading platform considers the recent loss of nearly $3 million as a "criminal case" and is coordinating with law enforcement to recover the funds.

Percoco mentioned that these unnamed researchers stole millions of dollars in cryptocurrency from Kraken by withdrawing funds that had already been deposited into their accounts before the deposit was completed. He wrote that the attackers could effectively print assets.

Previous news, the blockchain security firm CertiK announced on social media that a series of serious vulnerabilities were discovered on the Kraken exchange, which could lead to potential losses of hundreds of millions of dollars.
