  "account": "A major cryptocurrency exchange, Liquid Network, announced a $275 million theft from its wallet. The incident has shaken investor confidence in the security of this digital ecosystem. The attack occurred when \"supposed ethical hackers\" exploited vulnerabilities, reportedly intending to return the funds, often for a fee. Liquid Network revealed that the cybercriminals moved the stolen crypto, 4,000 out of the 4,200 Bitcoin held in the Liquid Federation wallet.\n\nUnlike typical crypto thefts, this hack was not due to a breach in passwords or private keys. Funds were withdrawn through SideSwap, a sanctioned platform for managing transfers from the network. Liquid Network has suspended all new transactions and informed users that Liquid wallets will be affected while service is restored. The company's federation members are actively working to resolve the issue and restore normal service to the network.\n\nLiquid Network, founded in 2018 by Blockstream, provides blockchain technology to speed up transactions, particularly for Bitcoin, whose network is slower. The company is currently managed by a federation of over 80 exchanges, infrastructure companies, and asset managers, as per Blockstream. This latest theft joins a series of hacks that have plagued the digital asset world in recent months. Just last week, an attacker stole $6 million from an asset lending platform linked to Crypto.com. In August, a multi-million dollar heist occurred on ColdCard, a cold wallet with no network connection.",
