Could you elaborate on the term "crypto hack" and its implications within the realm of cryptocurrency and finance? I'm particularly interested in understanding the different types of hacks that occur, the methods perpetrators employ, and the potential consequences these hacks have on investors, exchanges, and the overall cryptocurrency ecosystem. Additionally, I'd like to know how these hacks are detected, and what measures can be taken to prevent or mitigate their impact. Your insight into this topic would be greatly appreciated.

BTCC, a UK-based cryptocurrency exchange, is one such service provider that offers a range of services including spot trading, futures trading, and wallet management. While BTCC has robust security measures, it remains vulnerable to potential hacks and security breaches.

The question of whether Bitcoin itself has been hacked is a pertinent one. As of May 11, 2024, there are no confirmed reports indicating that Bitcoin's underlying blockchain or network has been successfully breached.

Despite the robust nature of Bitcoin's protocol, service providers, wallets, and other applications built on or around the cryptocurrency ecosystem are not immune to security vulnerabilities.
