Both attacks were attributed to the same threat actor exploiting vulnerabilities in FixedFloat's third-party hosting provider, Time4VPS, and stolen funds were routed through the eXch mixer — a service subsequently shut down by German authorities for laundering proceeds from major crypto thefts. The platform resumed operations after a two-month suspension but has faced ongoing scrutiny for its anonymity-first model, opaque team structure, and inadequate incident disclosure.","timeline":[{"date":"2018-01-01","event":"FixedFloat launches as a non-custodial, no-KYC cryptocurrency swap exchange.","source":""},{"date":"2024-02-16","event":"First breach: 409.304 BTC and 1,728.48 ETH (approximately $26.1 million) drained in under 45 minutes across nine transactions.
