Triple‑A crypto payment platform loses up to $12 million in multi‑chain hack
Triple‑A, a Singapore‑based crypto payment gateway licensed by the Monetary Authority of Singapore, suffered a security breach that drained up to $12 million from its hot wallets. The attack affected hot‑wallets on at least six blockchains – Ethereum, TRON, Polygon, Arbitrum, Solana and TON – and was first reported by blockchain security firms PeckShield and on‑chain analyst Specter. Funds were moved across the networks and consolidated into a single Ethereum address holding roughly 5,227 ETH (valued around $9.7 million to $12 million at the time). Triple‑A said customer funds were not impacted and that its cold‑storage vaults remain untouched. The company is investigating the incident, which it says may involve a compromised private key or a flaw in its wallet‑management layer. The hack caused little immediate price movement in major cryptocurrencies.
