Unocoin Probes Suspected BitGo Wallet Recovery Exploit as Platform Remains Suspended

According to Unocoin's November 13 update, the Indian exchange is investigating whether a recovery mechanism in BitGo multisignature wallets was exploited to execute unauthorized cryptocurrency transfers. Unocoin detected suspicious activity on November 6 and requested account freezes with BitGo and custody provider Fireblocks. BitGo confirmed the freeze took effect, yet transactions were identified on November 12 that were signed and broadcast directly on-chain without passing through BitGo's platform. Unocoin has not established how the transfers were authorized, whether private keys were compromised, or the extent of cryptocurrency losses. The exchange has not announced a reopening date for customer access and trading.
