Yesterday, It has been discovered that funds were stolen from the Tether treasury wallet through hacking and or malicious action by an entity or external attacker.
$30,950,010 USDT was removed from the Tether Treasury wallet on November 19, 2017 and sent to an unauthorized bitcoin address.
The attacker is holding funds in the following address: 16tg2RJuEPtZooy18Wxn2me2RhUdC94N7r.
If you receive any USDT tokens from the above address, or from any downstream address that receives these tokens, do not accept them, as they have been flagged and will not be redeemable by Tether for USD!!
This is serious news guys..
Be extra careful dealing with USDT in the near future.
