Payment firm Triple-A’s hot wallets have lost more than $9.7 million spanning multiple blockchains. 

On-chain analyst Specter flagged the outflows on X (formerly Twitter) earlier today. This comes amid a streak of exploits hitting crypto protocols this month.

The funds now sit in one wallet, 0x01F83B5d4fb30E8AA3daC1681B4048D9135253b1. That address holds roughly 5,227 ETH, worth about $9.7 million.

“It looks like the team are not aware as deposit are not disabled and every new deposit is being drained,” Specter posted earlier today.

A spokesperson for the firm said it is investigating and confirmed that customer funds are not affected.

“We are actively investigating the situation and will share a formal update as soon as possible. We can confirm that customer funds are not impacted,” Tatyana Chernov, head of marketing, told BeInCrypto.

Meanwhile, the drain adds to a difficult stretch for crypto security. On-chain trackers have logged a string of thefts across platforms in recent days. Lookonchain counted three separate attacks on July 23 worth $35.55 million.

Those hits included AFX Trade at $24.15 million, the Verus Ethereum bridge at $7.55 million, and B2 Network at $3.86 million. This marked Verus’ second exploit since May. Attackers drained roughly $11.58 million in digital assets on May 18.
