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.

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.

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

Ooof. 4 million is not an amount to sneeze at.

Which nested services did the the stolen funds get transferred to? 

But honestly, the fact that they took quick responsibility is at least a sign of a good casino. Others in their situation would have been trying to save face instead of admit their situation.
