On March 23, attackers were assumed to have managed to hack into the Ronin Network, the software Axie Infinity players use to store and receive their crypto and tokens. A total of $625 miliion of assets was reported to have been stolen from the network. This exploit was said to have gone unnoticed until a player reported that he can't transfer his own funds, which prompted an investigation that led to the discovery.
Details of the hack has been available on the news only yesterday. One such article was posted on this link:

With a haul of $625 million, this hack can be considered as one of, if not THE, worst cybertheft on the crypto online gaming world. A lax security issue to ease network traffic was blamed for what happened. Current and future crypto games must now take steps to ensure that they won't become next in line.
The hacker's wallet has been traced and found that most of the stolen funds is still being kept there, so there is still hope for it to be recovered. In the meantime, affected players are advised to post any transaction issues they might have to the company's support team.
