Hackers stole $30 million from the popular Ethereum-wallet

Cybercriminals took advantage of the vulnerability of purse Parity and transferred about 150,000 tokens on their own Ethereum address.

The attack was carried out at 11:02pm on July 19th. The bug was discovered in the contract wallet of smart contract Coding Comapany, Parity, with versions 1.5 and higher. The issue is the result of a bug in a specific multi-signature contract known as wallet.sol.

The entire attack had resulted in a total 377000 ethers that were potentially vulnerable. Thanks to a group of "white hackers" (WhiteHat hackers) part of the funds were able to be transferred back to the control address.

Currently Parity has publically admitted that at least three other projects have had funds stolen: Aeternity, Edgeless Casino & Swarn City.

The developers of Aeternity said in a corporate blog that, according to them, "from about 82000 ETH - 102000ETH was stolen which had been collected for projects in the framework of the second phase financing. The remaining funds are safe. Team Aeternity reassured holders of tokens that all members of the ICO will receive tokens according to the amount of funds invested and the project will continue its development.

Vitalik Buterin said on Twitter: "Does anyone else notice how literally the only people calling for a hard fork or chain rollback right now are concern trolls?" According to him, the ecosystem is more exposed now.

Information about the hacker attack has put pressure on the exchange rate of Ethereum. In the last 12 hours the token fell in price about 15%, down from more than $230 to just above $196 per coin.

This is the second manifestation of hackers this week. About $7.2 million was stolen from Israeli startup CoinDash in an ICO earlier this week.
