[[File:Bitopro.jpg|thumb|BitoPro]]Unconfirmed by BitoPro, there was an apparent exploit where the BitoPro exchange accepted a partial payment of XRP, which may then have been withdrawn from the exchange platform.

There doesn't appear to have been any follow up by BitoPro, so it's possible that the exploit did not result in a successful withdrawal on the exchange platform, or that the exchange thought it best to avoid mentioning what had happened publicly.

This exchange or platform is based in Taiwan, or the incident targeted people primarily in Taiwan.

== About BitoPro ==
"BitoPro is developed by BitoEX team, who started BitoEX in 2014 which provides cryptocurrency solutions such as digital wallet, business application, financial auditing and more."

"BitoEX team is committed to lead digital currency industry, as BitoEX offers customers comprehensive services in excellent quality and unique branding. BitoEX is also expected to provide ease the process of entering digital currency for everyone."

"In 2017, reacting to the increasing market demand, BitoEX team starts to plan and develope cryptocurrency exchange platform - BitoPro." "The BitoEX team launched the International Digital Assets Exchange Platform - BitoPro in early 2018. Now, through the BitoPro App users can check prices in real time of BTC, ETH, LTC, BITO, MITH, TRON etc. Also the app shows market depths, allowing for more precise trading plus the function to deposit your cryptocurrencies. Managing your digital assets have never been so easy." "We are looking forward to satisfy our customer by providing fast and economical trading services."

"BitoPro is decentralized cryptocurrency exchange located in Taiwan. It has trust score 8. More than 138K traders trade on this exchange. It currently has a 24-hour trading volume around ₿444.27 from 16 coins and 26 trading pairs."

"Taiwan exchange BitoPro's XRP suffered an attack that caused a price crash and is thought to have lost about 7m XRPS." False top-up

"[A] user managed to withdraw 7 million ‘real’ XRP tokens from a Taiwan-based crypto exchange called BitoPro."

"Because often the exchange (especially the new ones supporting $XRP) wasn't aware of the existence of "partial payment"! Thus using the wrong parameter "Amount' to record the payment. The CORRECT parameter to use is and should always be "DeliveredAmount" ‼️"

"The said vulnerability allows a user to fake an XRP deposit transaction and then dump the sent “XRP” tokens on the exchange. In this case, the crooked user faked a deposit of 330,000 XRP, but the actual XRP delivered were just 0.003255 XRP. In effect, BitoPro ended up losing 7 million XRP. Bitrue took the step to expose the flaw and let other exchanges and users know about it to save them from further loses."

"According to Bitrue, there have been around 148 such transactions made since March 8. Bitrue also intimated that a user had attempted the same trick on its platform, but the attack was quickly tackled as Bitrue had already instituted measures to prevent it."

This exchange or platform is based in Taiwan, or the incident targeted people primarily in Taiwan.

The background of the exchange platform, service, or individuals involved, as it would have been seen or understood at the time of the events.

* Any wording which directly states or implies that the business is/was illegitimate, or that a vulnerability existed.
* Anything that wasn't reasonably knowable at the time of the event.
There could be more than one section here. If the same platform is involved with multiple incidents, then it can be linked to a main article page.

== The Reality ==
This sections is included if a case involved deception or information that was unknown at the time. Examples include:

* When the service was actually started (if different than the "official story").
* Who actually ran a service and their own personal history.
* How the service was structured behind the scenes. (For example, there was no "trading bot".)
* Details of what audits reported and how vulnerabilities were missed during auditing.

== Prevention Policies ==
If there was an exploit that resulted in a withdrawal from the platform, this was the result of a misconfigured wallet on the platform.

This type of situation can be avoided by a thorough understanding of the chain being used, and detected by a shortfall of balance between the database and blockchain.

This type of situation is likely to happen only once to a platform, if not already caught by a decent team.
