Gate founder Dr. Han responds to the rumored "1.7 million stolen" incident: Let the facts respond to the controversy.

Mars Finance News: On July 8, in response to the online rumor that “Gate was hacked for 1.7 million,” platform founder and CEO Dr. Han posted a tweet saying: “The whole story is here. Once you’ve read it, you’ll naturally understand. Earlier, the Gate official account has already made a complete disclosure and a review of the incident.

Earlier, in today’s Gate official announcement, the conclusion regarding the online rumor that ‘Gate was hacked for 1.7 million’ was that this is not a systemic risk or a website security issue; at present, the platform is ensuring the security of all customers’ assets and accounts across the site.

There are many doubts regarding this incident. Previously, the user had passed facial liveness verification and provided proof of three specified historical transaction records from 2019. They completed resets of the security items using the original email verification code. All reset settings were confirmed to be correct through verification by the email verification code and the funds password. Before the user made five withdrawals, Gate conducted comprehensive identity verification, including: live facial liveness verification, Google verification code verification, and funds password verification. After all verifications were confirmed to have passed, the user’s withdrawal request was processed.

The user then reported the theft to Gate customer service. Gate ensures that the above information is true and valid. All contents disclosed in this release are sourced from the platform’s complete back-end stored operation records.”
