Justin Sun amplifies security with new SAFU fund following HTX Global hack

News of HTX Global losing 5,000 ETH following a hack dominated the crypto market on Monday, 25 September. Meanwhile, the loss of Ethereum tokens worth about $8 million has forced the firm’s advisor, Justin Sun, to announce new policies to manage similar occurrences.

HTX’s SAFU fund

Amidst the conversations about Huobi’s security breach, Sun highlighted the SAFU fund to control hacking-related issues. Besides promising users that their company ensures user safety, the TRON founder unveiled a real-time monitoring functionality to avoid such losses. He stated,

“Our multi-backup, multi-signature cold wallet system ensures 100% security. Security is an ongoing commitment, and we will continually update and iterate on security measures to ensure that our users’ assets remain the safest in the industry.”

Further, Justin Sun offered a 5% reward for HTX Global perpetrators to return the stolen money. He threatened a legal move if the hackers failed to initiate a refund within a week.
