Until they have secured all the cryptocurrency from the detection time, The exchange continues. And it has been done with a cold wallet, and after that, they checked them by blocking the deposits as well as withdrawal services.

And there is a post on tweeter by a cryptocurrency user, Dovey Wan, who says that more them 3 million EOS which comprises of around $12.5 million has already been transferred in the cold storage level of the Bithumb. But let me tell you that, this has not yet been confirmed.
And if we go a little back, let me remind you that, in June 2018, Bithumb has been a victim and suffered a hack of around $30 million in cryptocurrencies. And when the investigation was done for this case after the hack was done, around $14 million of the stolen fund was recovered by the Bithumb as a result of the investigation. But still, it was a huge loss at that time for the Bithumb as well.
And one of the most important things we got to know is that last week, the BitHumb reported that they are currently cutting up to 50 percent of their workforce, which shows that they are facing a crunch of finance for sure. So, it is not a good indication for the company according to my views.

But it is for sure that the Crypto Exchange Bithumb Reportedly Hacked is going to have a very bad impact on the Bithumb for sure as this loss is going to affect the BitHumb a lot for sure. And when seen in the long term, it could also be a big threat for the company as well.
