As soon as the user informed CoinDCX about the missing funds from his account and losing access to his account, CoinDCX acted promptly to secure the account and restrict the loss of funds thereupon. They introduced a two-level inquiry set-up in which the first stage was an internal security check to track entry points, causes, and weak ends, if any. The second enquiry stage was initiated after the identification of the beneficiary’s wallet address. This was carried upon by CoinDCX and international forensic group to trace the funds and block their usage.
