December 13, 8:27pm (UTC+8), the VeChain Foundation buyback address was compromised. Approximately 1.1 billion VET tokens in this address were transferred into 0xD802A148f38aBa4759879c33E8d04deb00cFB92b, the hackers address. All the addresses associated with the said hackers address have been tagged on VeChainStats, the list is automatically updated as soon as the hacker sends any funds from the original hackers address.

I don't know what much it in dollars but I will assumed its huge amount again. It's sad to hear this kind of hackings in crypto sphere, but then again those criminals are always one step of the game.
I hope these hackers are really not one step ahead of the game all the time. It would not be healthy if that is the case. This would put everything about cryptocurrency questionable and perhaps in jeopardy. Hacking is a common occurrence in the crypto sphere but if it is happening against huge projects affecting millions in the process, there must really be a big question mark as to the security of the wallets. If rich companies cannot get away from these hackers, how much more the ordinary individuals?
