UPD2: Funds in the amount of 342,000 ETH were stolen from the Upbit wallet, funds began to be received again, in different amounts, it seems from the exchange team. A logical question arises. Why replenish an already compromised wallet? Hacked wallet balance already - 4.726 ETH


Mind to link about this matter? I tried to search up their announcement news but i havent able to read that replenish amounts on the said hacked hot wallet.
It really sounds dumb on funding again a hacked wallet.I would like to clarify about this news. hope you would reply on where you do read up such information.

We dont know if this one is an inside job or a real hack yet any exchange can announce that theyve been recently hacked due to blah blah blah. Another bad news in cryptospace.
The more the hacks happen in the crypto sphere, the more investors are afraid of investing in the crypto ecosystem. Regarding the replenish of hacked ETH wallet, maybe the hackers send back the stolen ETH to the same address for whatever reason or some traders just funded the hacked account or fat finger. Who knows unless the Upbit team answers all questions on live AMA.
