On February 8 2018, 15 million Raiblocks, the former native currency of the Nano network, were stolen from Italian cryptocurrency exchange BitGrail. In order to provide insights into alleged security breach and the theft of more than $150 million USD worth of XRB, Cointelegraph conducted an exclusive interview with Francesco Firano, the founder and operator of BitGrail.
This time, Cointelegraph reached out to the Nano team and conducted an interview with the Nano core team’s Troy Retzer, who oversees community & public relations at the organization, to better understand the large-scale theft.
