Beosin: The leakage of the administrator's private key of the multi-signature wallet on the Indian exchange WazirX has led to asset theft

ChainCatcher news, according to Beosin Alert monitoring, it was discovered that the Indian exchange WazirX was attacked. The attacker obtained the signature data of the multi-signature wallet administrator of the exchange, modified the logic contract of the wallet, and executed incorrect logic to steal assets.Attacker address: 0x6eedf92fb92dd68a270c3205e96dccc527728066Attacked address: 0x27fd43babfbe83a81d14665b1a6fb8030a60c9b4Based on the attacker's behavior, it is speculated that the reason is the leakage of the multi-signature wallet administrator's private key.
