Odaily Planet Daily News: According to on-chain detective Specter, the victim claimed that funds were transferred from Bitcoin to Ethereum due to a Coldcard hack. However, on-chain data shows that 73 BTC (worth $4.6 million) originally came from the Whirlpool mixer two weeks ago, with part of it bridged to Ethereum and subsequently deposited via a phishing Tornado Cash interface. Two mixers were used during the fund transfer process. The individual was also found to be active in Telegram groups related to private key searching and brute force attacks. On-chain detective Specter stated that the victim might be a threat actor, and the funds may have been stolen by another threat actor.
