Crypto exchange ZB.com has fallen victim to a possible hack as $4.8 million was withdrawn from its hot wallet, according to security firm PeckSheild.

PeckShield announced on Twitter that over 20 crypto tokens, including SHIB, USDT, and MATIC, were moved from ZB.com's hot wallet to another address on Tuesday, which later liquidated all but five tokens.
The tokens were then sold on various decentralised exchanges for 2,224 ETH ($3.6 million), and the potential hacker then moved the funds to another address.
