Korea’s cryptocurrency exchange incident analysis from a technical point of view
Through cryptocurrency exchange hacking incident,
We analyzed each token team’s contract codes and the possibility of compensation in case exchange was hacked.
The opinion of the token team’s compensable statue is an opinion of Hexlant.
* Please note that the above comments do not have any compensation coercion for the token team.
Finally, To prepare for exchange hacking, the token team may consider the Lock and UnLock functions for specific addresses when issuing tokens.
To investors, the lock function can be secure from hacking but this function may have a centralized personality that is slightly different from the block chain concept. So please note that it is not always a good token with Lock function.

The contract code was not disclosed, so I couldn’t check.
Above all, I think the best way to resolve this accident is the stability of the holders and the block-chain market by resolving the situation.
I really hope this accident is resolved as soon as possible.
