When asked if the hacking was linked to North Korea or its hacking group, the Lazare group, the chain Sleuth noted that this was probably not the case.
Why could it be a flight
Zachxbt highlighted the signs they identified before concluding that it was probably a flight. The original address had maintained BTC for an extended period and often interacting with well -known crypto exchanges like Coinbase and Gemini.
The alleged stolen funds were “transferred by small increments to instant exchanges, creating hundreds of orders”. The crypto investigator believes that the hacker has lost a significant amount for the costs, which suggests that he would have been ineffective for the real owner to do so.
The scams in the world of cryptography have been increasing, with notable incidents such as Coinbase victim of a phishing scam. This has caused users to lose more than $ 46 million, which highlights increasing risks in space.
