\n

Police in Bengaluru, India arrested a CoinDCX software engineer in connection with the theft of 3.79 billion rupees ($43.4 million) in crypto assets from the exchange last month, the Times of India reported on Thursday<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Local police identified the suspect as 30-year-old Rahul Agarwal, whose office-issued laptop credentials were allegedly used to access CoinDCX\u2019s internal systems and initiate unauthorized transfers<\/a> on July 19. The stolen assets were routed to six wallets in a coordinated breach, according to investigators.<\/p>\n

Agarwal denied direct involvement, but admitted to freelancing for unknown overseas clients. He also received a 1.5 million rupee deposit and a WhatsApp call from a German number shortly before the incident. Police are investigating whether malware or credential misuse during his side work enabled the hack.<\/p>\n

The exchange\u2019s parent company, Neblio Technologies, conducted an internal probe and confirmed that all customer assets remain secure. CoinDCX said it will absorb the losses from its own treasury.<\/p>\n

The incident has raised concerns over internal security and potential links to international hacking groups. Authorities are probing possible North Korean involvement, echoing tactics used in prior crypto-related breaches.<\/p>\n

The stolen funds have not been recovered. Investigations are ongoing.<\/p>\n
