Grinex, a Kyrgyzstan-based cryptocurrency exchange formerly known as Garantex, has halted operations after suffering a $13 million cyberattack. The platform, which has previously faced sanctions from the U.S., U.K., and EU for facilitating sanctions evasion, claims the attack was highly sophisticated and performed by state-backed actors from unfriendly nations.
