Financial repercussions are evident as Bitcoin remains stable, while Ethereum sees a slight rise of 1.09%.
Second Breach in March Raises Security Alarms
This incident marks the second breach for Zoth this month, after a previous $285,000 liquidity pool exploit. The recurrence of issues has bolstered demands for enhanced security measures.
