RetoSwap Halts Trading After Hack Targets Haveno Protocol

RetoSwap, a decentralized exchange based on the Tor network, announced that its upstream open-source project, Haveno, suffered a hacking attack. According to Foresight News, RetoSwap responded by blocking the attacker's onion address and suspending trading through client version restrictions. The team itself was not attacked. The incident primarily affected large cryptocurrency transactions, while fiat currency trades remained unaffected. The team is currently evaluating ways to assist affected users in recovering their funds. Additionally, PeckShield reported that RetoSwap users lost approximately 7,000 XMR, valued at around $2.7 million, due to the attack. According to Foresight News, RetoSwap is a fork of the Haveno project.
