According to the announcement, the attackers withdrew 504 million undistributed SSX tokens, which were scheduled to be circulated by the end of 2025, and 226 million SSX that the Somesing foundation was holding and were already part of its current circulation.

The project reported:

"It has been confirmed that the hacking incident is not related to any member of the SOMESING team, and it is assumed to have been conducted by the professional hacker(s) specializing in hacking virtual assets considering the methods."
