Slow Fog Cosine: DEXX theft confirmed as an external attack, not internal embezzlement, and the compensation efforts are commendable

ChainCatcher news, the founder of Slow Mist, Yu Xian, posted on the X platform to review the DEXX hacking incident, stating that the main cause of the incident was indeed the exploitation of a vulnerability in the ZenTao platform used by DEXX, which led to an external intrusion. Subsequently, the production network-related servers and database permissions were compromised, and all forensic analyses have traced back this attack path. In other words, DEXX is also a victim, but bears responsibility for inadequate security management.

Furthermore, although DEXX's performance during this life-and-death hacking incident was quite chaotic, the fact that they were ultimately able to provide compensation puts them ahead of 99.99% of projects in this industry.
