Mercado Bitcoin Says There Was 'No Loss to Customers'. The Attacker Still Reached 27,160 Customer Deposit Addresses and Walked Off With About $46M

Nov 3, 2026 · 5 min read

Brazil's largest crypto exchange says it 'quickly contained' a security incident on November 2 and froze deposits and withdrawals. On-chain analysts tracked more than $40M leaving across at least 10 chains. A CertiK engineer says the attacker tested eight small chains for four hours first, touched 27,160 customer deposit addresses, and funds kept moving for hours after the pause. Mercado Bitcoin hasn't confirmed a number.
