Security auditing firm CertiK recently announced the results of a major wallet security incident investigation. They detected that deposits on a certain mixing platform can be traced back to a suspected wallet intrusion on January 10th, which resulted in losses of up to $282 million.

Even more concerning, the hackers have begun further fund transfer activities. Approximately $63 million has been bridged to addresses starting with 0xF73a, indicating that the attackers are taking steps to further obfuscate the source and flow of funds. This series of operations reflects new challenges in fund tracing and security protection within the current ecosystem.

Wow, $282 million just disappeared like that? The tactics of mixed coin platforms are really unstoppable. Hackers are starting to play with bridging now; our ecosystem really needs to reflect and reconsider. Once again, we've been attacked. When will there be a truly secure wallet? That address starting with 0xF73a has probably been cleaned long ago... Tracking it is pointless. CertiK responded quickly this time, but it always feels like post-incident analysis? Mixed coin platforms are just like this, a paradise for bad actors. $63 million disappeared in the blink of an eye. How big is my information gap? Security is really changing every day; it's impossible to guard against everything. Cold wallets are really the best; seeing these news makes me even more reluctant to move on-chain.

282 million gone, the trick of mixing coins is too ruthless, hackers are just playing cat and mouse with us.

$282m gone and we're just... watching? statistically speaking, this 63m bridge move screams amateur hour tbh. if they actually knew what they were doing, risk-adjusted the mixing timeline differently. contrary to popular belief, 0xF73a doesn't hide much once you map the liquidity flows properly

$282 million disappeared in an instant, this is truly a bloodbath. --- Another mixed currency platform, do these people really think they're smart? --- Addresses starting with 0xF73a? Major exchanges should be keeping a close eye on this. --- The ecological protection is really rotten, I told you so. --- Hackers are bridging funds, which means they're still messing around and haven't fully escaped. --- CertiK's tracking technology is still somewhat effective, at least it can trace back to the source. --- $63 million cross-chain transfer, just hearing about it suggests it hasn't been fully cleaned. --- How many projects will have to take the fall in this wave, and users will be crying again. --- New security challenges? I think it's just old problems that haven't been properly solved. --- Wallet intrusions, mixing coins, cross-chain transfers—this combo punch is really slick.

$282 million just disappeared like that? Oh my god, how many people are going to go bankrupt? --- Hackers are mixing coins and bridging at the same time. It feels like the protection now is as thin as paper. --- Wait, $63 million is still flowing? Now that's truly terrifying. --- CertiK can track to this point, which is already good, but the problem is that hackers are running even faster. --- Why are the mixed coin platforms so poorly protected… Money goes in and can still be stolen. --- Looks like I need to re-evaluate my wallet security. Cold sweat. --- There are indeed vulnerabilities in ecosystem protection, otherwise it wouldn't be so easy to move funds elsewhere. --- $282 million, I’ve been calculating for a long time but still can't figure out how many bitcoins that is. --- Bridging to a new address to wash the coins? That logic is a bit absurd. --- Another large theft… This year's environment is a bit fierce.

2.82 billion directly evaporated, this ecosystem is really crazy Hackers are very skilled, after a set of operations on the mixing bridge, they disappeared Again, a wallet was hacked... how can people still dare to put their coins on these platforms Being able to track the mixing platform is already good, but the remaining 63 million probably can't be recovered at all That's why I only dare to manage my own wallet now. It really hurts to see others lose so much CertiK's tracking ability is good, but unfortunately it's too late; the hacker has already run away It feels like security can never keep up with hackers' brains... 0xF73a, this address must be blacklisted quickly, so many people in the ecosystem are still using these platforms
