The FTX hacker, who became active after approximately 10 months of silence, this time moved $ 36.7 million worth of Ethereum (ETH).
The $600 million in accounts linked to FTX and FTX.US were withdrawn on November 11, 2022, hours after the crypto exchange filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. At the time, FTX general counsel Ryne Miller informed traders about the attack caused by the malware:
“FTX was hacked. Please do not go to the FTX site due to Trojans. Note that some funds were received.”
After nearly 10 months of silence, the FTX attacker verified data from Spot On Chain and began withdrawing the stolen funds, starting with a transfer of 10,250 ETH worth $17.1 million through four addresses between September 30 and October 1.
The hacker’s new moves attracted attention!
The attacker initially had 175,496 ETH ($294 million). However, the current balance in their portfolio dropped to $196,014 million. A total of 67,500 ETH has been transferred from five of 15 wallet addresses linked to the FTX hacker since September 30. 64,948 ETH ($108 million) was transferred via the THORchain router, and 52 ETH ($84,000) was transferred to the Railgun contract. The remaining 2,500 ETH ($4.19 million) was exchanged for Bitcoin (tBTC).
The hacker, who entered an intense transfer flow, worried not only the FTX side but the entire crypto community. We witnessed how FTX, which came to the fore with liquidation news a few weeks ago, shook the market. Now, FTX, which comes to mind with the hacker’s moves, poses a threat to the market again. It is being followed with curiosity how the hacker’s next transfer movements will be.
