The ZACHXBT blockchain detective spoke about the theft of bitcoins, as a result of which the investor lost $ 91 million in the first cryptocurrency. This is the largest theft since the beginning of the year, says an anonymous detective.
On August 19, unknown people stole 738 BTC by the investor, hiding their digital traces through the Wasabi bitcoin wallet, which provides the function of confidentiality. The incident occurred in the morning, and the laundering of funds started a day after the theft, Zachxbt said.
According to the detective, the attackers introduced themselves to the employees of the technical support service of the exchange and the hardware wallet, managing to convince the owner of the bitcoins to transfer them to a new, supposedly safe address.
Zachxbt recommended that any calls or emails from the excitement of fraud are considered any calls or emails. He said that he did not have data about those who abducted bitcoins, but excludes the involvement in the attack of hackers of the North Korean group Lazarus Group.
Earlier, ZACHXBT criticized the blockchain and the technology of the directed acyclical column (DAG) Cryptocurrency Blockdag project for the BDAG tokens too long.
