‼️ Drift exploiter sent $39M to Tornado Cash in the last few hours After 3 months of inactivity the transfers started again, 16,600 $ETH already moved to the mixer Still more than $200M of stolen funds on the exploiter wallets, almost all of it in $ETH 0xAa843eD65C1f061F111B5289169731351c5e57C1

Peak laundering patience! 4,932 ETH was withdrawn from the mixer back in 2022, and over the next four and a half years all of it was deposited back in In June 2022 this wallet withdrew 4,932 ETH from Tornado Cash After that all of this ETH went back to Tornado Cash, from July 2022 to this week, the longest gap between transfers 15 months All of this is probably done to complicate demixing and make it harder to identify who is behind the funds 0xFFD837984668002AA8AaE4A8839782293c91187e

CryptoBilis Ledger drainer continues sending funds to Tornado Cash 1 hour ago more than $1.1M in ETH was distributed to 4 wallets, and from those wallets all funds went to the mixer Looks like many more millions will go the same way Around $7.5M in ETH is sitting here right now, $2M has already gone to Tornado from this wallet in two rounds 0xfa4EaBB840A33C156E600311433AE261CBfCb0e2

More than $292,000 drained from hundreds of wallets The drain happened in the last days of August, but I only confirmed it now, as multiple users pointed to the same drainer wallet Stolen funds are still sitting on that wallet, everything swapped to $DAI, $ETH and $BNB 0x91CDAf83687ED670C4CC8C0c77f7F7b996e3329B

$67,588 USDT lost due to an address poisoning attack Victim thought he was sending to his usual address, but this time looks like the address was taken from transaction history 2 days earlier there was a $567,000 transfer to the usual address, so we can say he is lucky that it wasn't that amount Attacker already converted everything to $ETH and funding wallet shows he had several victims over the last year Fake address: 0xca166632D25Ea74BAa93A5303Aa73F61E80fD94b Real address: 0xca16B299700674dda6941BAA1BDEEFf6d90fD94b

Suspicious that since the incident was reported withdrawals from Duelbits have been stopped for 6 hours already, as we can see by the outflow amount of txs But still some transactions passed 25 minutes ago a small amount was sent and later connected to one of the attacker wallets, confirming it belongs to them 0x92De344C23c5D5372A95ddd7dd06B8C3be22DDD4
‼️ Looks like Duelbits got exploited for more than $4.2M in different assets A few hours ago suspicious outflows were detected from the casino wallets to a possible attacker on EVM and TRON $USDT was swapped to $TRX and all TRON funds were bridged to EVM Everything was converted to $ETH and is now sitting on the attacker wallet No comments from the Duelbits team for now Attacker wallets: 0xA77e24Fe29d16E051e487ef4Ea7b056cb05aef76 TAvraZZFCZbDSZoyqWWRRsBkFgZqKaCGbK

An individual wallet was likely compromised back in 2022 for more than $3.7M, and laundering of these funds started only now In November 2022 an active Binance user's private wallet was suddenly emptied and all funds moved to another wallet Everything was swapped from $USDT and $APE to $DAI Almost 4 years later the funds started moving again, swapped to $ETH and sent to a mixer over the last week A wallet compromise with years of patience from attacker? 0x85f6DEb0f2E1d5BC3bADEB7f7488206AF83D4623

More than $7.5M from a Hyperliquid whale sent to a mixer after a 3 month hold on an intermediate wallet At the start of May this trader was actively trading high value positions At the end of the same month all funds were moved to another wallet, either by him or by someone who compromised it Most of the funds were in $DAI Over the last weeks activity started on new wallets and funds went to Tornado Cash, a big part of it last week No confirmation that the whale's wallet got compromised, so either he is using a mixer for privacy, or it was compromised, as the behaviour looks like it Whale: 0x6572BC26eDF54a74bEf243EFf10D3Fbe6D461Eb7 Mixer depositor: 0xe1C6D86ebc25691FC91965e5768c78902540BB74

‼️ More than $230,000 drained from hundreds of wallets in the last 2 days Attack vector is still unknown, probably session hijacking Amounts from each victim are mostly small, but the total is already big Most of the funds are sitting in $USDC Attacker wallet: 0x7028174ED69A237DE0791101b5b85D1E6Db35887

‼️ Looks like Orion Protocol got exploited for ~$133,000 It happened more than a week ago, but became known only today because of an onchain message Orion team sent an offer to return the funds for a 10% bounty All funds were swapped to $USDT and transferred to another wallet, still sitting there in $WBTC and other assets 0x5d733aF67Db143893B8Db749F3cC71Be9dcF12C4 Interesting that attacker wallet was activated a year ago and had some activity before 0xCc19F449B862B9b30747C7d60a9d9feB01c18678

Not a single day without poisoning attacks $30,668 lost even after a successful test transfer Victim first sent 1 $USDT to his Bybit deposit address As always, the poisoning bot spammed 2 txs right after The rest, $30,668, went straight to the scammer Attacker already moved everything to other wallets, swapped it all to $ETH and looks like split the funds to fund his future attacks Fake wallet: 0x935dFD84E507Ce08E761C42c443f1A8B8727f120 Real wallet: 0x935D177913BE5755a652C27435e5862e1218F120

Duel whale who lost $7.9M was funding his account with funds swapped from Monero Yesterday player 6qq6 wagered almost $375M on Duel and lost all of his initial funds All his deposits came through bridging from Arbitrum from different wallets Every one of those wallets used the same pattern, $XMR on Hyperliquid sold to $USDC and then bridged straight to his Duel deposit address Here is the biggest one, 7,960 XMR went through it 0xB3c9b1945aB41C76615FaC141A66C08C3C0Bf025 Either he takes privacy seriously, which high rollers often do since they get looked at closely, or he was trying to hide where the funds came from

1/ How an individual lost $2.1M USDT to a high level social engineering scam He even sent a test transfer first and got a confirmation back Here's how it was done through a Telegram chat, how $1M got frozen by Tether, and where the rest of the funds went

6/ Court documents don't contain wallet addresses, but they do list the withdrawal amounts That was enough to run timing analysis and identify where the rest of the funds ended up They were mixed with other money and are currently sitting on this address The last movement was 2 months ago, which suggests nobody involved has been arrested and that threat actor went quiet after the Tether freeze 0x3CEA9A7d8c0D9ccd97DA2DEbF4502A8C368705cb

7/ This case only became known through public court decisions Even with the redactions it was possible to track exactly what happened and which wallets were involved Credit to whoever did the analysis for the victim, identifying the wallet that received 1M $USDT, and to Tether for freezing it after the request
