Japanese based crypto Wxchange Bitpoint has reported a $32 million theft.

.

Hackers stole Bitcoin (BTC), Litecoin (LTC), Ether (ETH) and XRP from the exchange’s hot wallets.

.

Bitpoint suspended all services following the hack, while the exchange’s parent firm Remixpoint Inc. shed 19% following the theft. Remixpoint went untraded in Tokyo following the attack due to a reported glut of sell orders.

.

The recent incident involving Bitpoint follows a record-breaking hack of Japanese exchange Coincheck in January 2018, when $534 million of NEM tokens were stolen.
