The biggest theft in the world of digital currency has occurred. Recently, hackers exploited a vulnerability in the blockchain site Poly Network's system to steal 600 million dollars in digital currency. This includes 26 crores and 7 million dollars in ether, 25 crores and 2 million dollars in Binance, and 8.5 crores in USDC tokens. This information has come up in a report of BBC online.

Polly Network authorities posted a statement on Twitter calling for the hackers to be contacted and for the money to be returned. In the letter, Polly wrote to the network hacker, "The amount of money you have stolen is one of the biggest thefts in history. Law enforcement in any country will consider it a major economic crime and will keep an eye on you. The money you have stolen belongs to thousands of members of the crypto community. '

Preliminary investigations have found that hackers exploited the vulnerabilities of their contract calls, Polly Network said.
