Major Fund Movement After WazirX Hack

WazirX 駭客攻擊後的主要資金變動

Less than two months after the ₹2000 crore WazirX hack, the alleged hacker has transferred ₹1400 crore worth of cryptocurrencies to various addresses for laundering purposes, reducing the likelihood of fund recovery.

在價值 200 億盧比的 WazirX 駭客事件發生後不到兩個月，被指控的駭客已將價值 140 億盧比的加密貨幣轉移到多個地址用於洗錢目的，從而降低了資金追回的可能性。

On July 18, 2024, WazirX experienced a significant security breach involving a multi-sig wallet. The attacker stole various digital assets, including 5.4 trillion SHIBA INU (SHIB) tokens, 15,298 Ethereum (ETH), 20.5 million MATIC, and smaller amounts of GALA and PEPE.

2024 年 7 月 18 日，WazirX 遭遇涉及多重簽名錢包的重大安全漏洞。攻擊者竊取了各種數位資產，包括 5.4 兆個 SHIBA INU (SHIB) 代幣、15,298 個以太坊 (ETH)、2,050 萬個 MATIC 以及少量的 GALA 和 PEPE。

Since then, the hacker has moved approximately ₹1456.89 crores from primary wallets to other addresses and through the Tornado Cash crypto mixing protocol. According to Arkham Intelligence, the hacker currently holds around $60 million of stolen assets (₹502 crores).

從那時起，駭客已透過 Tornado Cash 加密混合協議將約 1456.89 千萬盧比從主錢包轉移到其他地址。據 Arkham Intelligence 稱，該駭客目前持有約 6,000 萬美元的被盜資產（50.2 億盧比）。

Post-Hack Fund Movement

駭客攻擊後的資金動向

Immediately following the breach, the hacker moved over $102 million in SHIB, $52.5 million in ETH, and $11.24 million in MATIC. They also transferred significant sums of PEPE and GALA to different addresses.

漏洞發生後，駭客立即轉移了超過 1.02 億美元的 SHIB、5,250 萬美元的 ETH 和 1,124 萬美元的 MATIC。他們還將大量 PEPE 和 GALA 轉移到不同的地址。

The hacker utilized Tornado Cash, a crypto mixer that conceals transactions, to launder the stolen funds. They liquidated portions of the assets, including 200 billion SHIB tokens, within days of the hack.

駭客利用 Tornado Cash（隱藏交易的加密貨幣混合器）來洗錢被盜資金。他們在駭客攻擊發生後幾天內清算了部分資產，包括 2000 億個 SHIB 代幣。

Investigation and Response

調查與應對

This incident emphasizes the importance of robust security measures for exchanges handling large amounts of user assets. The hacker's ability to exploit WazirX's multi-sig wallet and launder funds through Tornado Cash highlights the vulnerabilities in existing security protocols. Crypto exchanges worldwide need to reassess their defenses against such sophisticated exploits.

這事件強調了對於處理大量用戶資產的交易所來說，強而有力的安全措施的重要性。駭客利用 WazirX 多重簽名錢包並透過 Tornado Cash 洗錢的能力凸顯了現有安全協議中的漏洞。全球加密貨幣交易所需要重新評估針對此類複雜漏洞的防禦措施。
