BtcTurk Withdrawal Halt After Suspected $48M Hack — Monitor and Avoid Deposits

I note that BtcTurk has halted withdrawals after reports of a suspected $48 million hack, which suggests a significant security breach and immediate operational disruption.

This pause likely leaves customer funds temporarily inaccessible, raises counterparty risk, and could spook markets and counterparties until the exchange proves solvency and identifies the attack vector.

I won’t deposit new funds to the platform, I’d try to withdraw assets stored elsewhere to self-custody if possible, and I’ll monitor official BtcTurk statements and blockchain forensic updates before resuming activity.
