It has been revealed that the attacker, who hacked the Cryptoconnery Exchange Bit, has laundered $ 1 billion in funds. However, blockchain security experts say some funds can be recovered.
On February 21, Bibet was hacked by a stolen ERC -20 token worth about $ 1.4 billion, which includes Ludo Stack Ether (State) and Mental Stacked ETH (Matthew). It is considered to be the biggest theft in the history of cryptocurrency.
According to the blockchain security company, the attackers stole 500,000 ETH (about $ 1.04 billion in the current price), mainly through decentralized cross -chain protocol, Thor China.
Several blockchain analytics companies, including Arkham Intelligence, have identified the identity of North Korea’s hacker group Lazar in the attack, but some stolen funds have been laundered.
Some stolen funds may be collected
Daddy Road, co -founder and CEO of the blockchain security company cybers, said some funds are still looking for some funds despite the conversion of assets.
“When it is difficult to raise funds from the laundering using the mixer and cross -chain conversion, there is still a possibility that some assets can be track and frozen by cooperating with Chinese -based intelligence, AI -based analytics models and exchange and regulators.
“A quick response is key to the key. Once the funds are fully invisible, rehabilitation is extremely difficult. Prevention of theft funds is the most effective before hacking.”
The Bible continues to accept the withdrawal of consumers, and on February 24, just three days after the attack, it compensated all the stolen $ 1.4 billion Ethereum.
