About $391,000 in suspected transfers from BitMart-related wallets across three blockchains reached a wallet linked to the Mercado Bitcoin attack. BitMart founder Sheldon Xia said Wednesday that the exchange’s security team is severely understaffed. The receiving wallet was also connected to the Mercado Bitcoin attack, involving a Brazilian trading platform. Xia said threats against employees and suspected retaliation by former employees have made it harder to retain technical staff. He said BitMart’s security team continues working to protect company data and assets.
