Bilaxy suddenly attacked unknown causes
Bilaxy is a Seychelles-based cryptocurrency exchange site. Before being attacked by hackers, it is also one of the names that own quite a large trading volume, used to be in the top 60 largest mass lumps.
One thing that makes it more prominent than the remaining exchanges is the extremely fast coin listing speed. It is possible to take Perl.eco (PERL), which is listed faster than Binance.
Bilaxy does not provide clear information about the headquarters as well as the company behind it. Concerns for this project include no public information about the team members and a lack of insurance in the case of a hack. However, the origin of trading platforms is not a big problem and never supporting its quality assurance. Anyway, if we have more information, we will be assured of somewhat you store assets on it, mainly when the exchange is hacked like today.
It must be added that attacking today is not the reason for showing weakness because most trading platforms are always the attack target of hackers. Many large exchanges have been hacked like Binance, Huobi Global, Bittrex.
At present, Bilaxy has not yet revealed why the exchange was attacked but only recommended that users temporarily deposit into the account. They said they are racing with time to prevent the fastest damage possible.

As revealed, 0xA14d5DA3C6BF2D9304FE6D4BC6942395b4dE048b could be the hacker’s Ethereum address. You can see the money was transferred here from the Bilaxy exchange on August 28, 2021, at 01:19:55 am.
