Do not panic. Everything is back to normal.
MetaWin CEO Skel said the gambling site was hacked. $4 million stolen. Onchain sleuth ZackXBT revealed that the attacker moved the stolen funds to Kucoin and a HitBTC nested service. He also identified more than 115 addresses associated with the malicious actor.

It is good that the gambling site has enabled back withdrawal. I hope all the stolen coins will also be recovered.

According to MetaWin CEO Skel, the attacker hacked MetaWin's hot wallets via the platform's frictionless withdrawal system — prompting the platform to halt withdrawals. However, the CEO also said that withdrawals were restored for 95% of the platform's customers at the time of writing.

Maybe the hacker was an idiot. Moving stolen funds to centralized crypto exchanges seems like a dumb move. The Metawin team identifying more than 115 addresses associated with the hacker also means that this guy(or several guys) was/were not that smart.
What if the hacker(or hackers) was actually smart and covered his traces? Maybe the Metawin team was lucky this time.
I haven't heard about the crypto exchange HitBTC in the last couple of years. I remember that I had an account there. Those were the good old days.
