New crypto theft: Liquid Network suffers a $275 million hack

Liquid Network, a blockchain technology company, has reported a theft of 4,000 bitcoin, valued at $320 million. The stolen funds were taken from the company's Liquid Federation wallet. According to Liquid Network, the hackers claim to be "ethical hackers" who exploit vulnerabilities with the intention of returning the funds, often in exchange for a commission.

The company has suspended transactions and is working to restore service, with members of the federation actively working to resolve the issue. The hack is the latest in a series of digital asset thefts, following recent incidents involving Crypto.com and ColdCard.
