  "account": "On September 6, the Bitcoin-based Liquid Network announced that approximately $320 million was withdrawn from its federation wallet in a hack. White-hat hackers purportedly removed around 4,000 of the 4,200 bitcoins held in the Liquid Federation wallet, according to a statement on X. The Liquid wallets will experience the impact, and Liquid Network expressed regret for the inconvenience. They have halted new transactions. The funds were taken out using SideSwap, a settlement platform permitted to manage withdrawals from the network. However, the key used in the process remained unbreached, as per Liquid Network.
