Hacked crypto exchange WazirX on August 19 said that its systems and laptops were not compromised as per a forensic investigation following the $230-million cyberattack on one of its multisig wallets.
Multisig wallets are crypto wallets which require two or more private keys to unlock and move funds. In the security breach last month, country’s largest crypto exchange WazirX lost nearly 45 percent of its holding assets.

The hacked wallet required had six signatories, from which five were of the WazirX and one from infrastructure and custody partner Liminal.
“All transactions from the Multisig wallet required approval from three members of WazirX, followed by the final authorisation from Liminal,” WazirX said.
The report said, “We did not identify evidence of compromise on the three laptops that were used for signing transactions.”
