By CCN.com: Contrary to prior reports putting the value of cryptocurrency stolen in the Cryptopia exchange hack at around $2.5 million, it has emerged that the true value of assets stolen sums up to about $16 million. According to blockchain analysis platform Elementus, this was ascertained by analysing the Ethereum blockchain using the Elementus query engine.

The $16 million figure only covers ether and ERC-20 tokens, which means that may be a possibility that more funds were compromised in the attack. Elementus also says that the hack makes for uncomfortable analysis from a security point of view because an examination of the way it took place raises several questions.
