Singapore-based cryptocurrency exchange KuCoin today underwent a hot wallet hack, hacker managed to bring in about 157 million dollars, but luckily kucoin cold wallet is safe and all hacked funds will be completely replaced by kucoin.

Once again, cybersecurity is MANDATORY in the current crypto environment

The positive update is that the CEO of kucoin has announced that they have caught the hacker and recovered most of the funds, I do not have more details and i hope they will update us with the identity details of the hacker in next updates but it is encouraging to know that funds are recovered so that in future such people will be discouraged to do such crimes.
