This is done by tracing difficult transaction graphs either forward or backward. Also, the hacker obviously used the enotes approach so that the transactions would become difficult to track.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For context, an enote is a crypto hardware solution to <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/ambcrypto.com\/monero-a-new-miner-growing-concerns-and-the-current-state-of-the-xmr-token\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">connect<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> off-chain and on-chain transactions together. While Moonetome admitted that it found it difficult to trace the transactions, it eventually made headway with one saying that:\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThis transaction uses seventeen input enotes and creates eleven output enotes.

Monerujo is a noncustodial Monero wallet with a \u201cPocketChange\u201d feature. This feature helps to create multiple enotes which it seemed the hacker took advantage of.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In concluding its probe into the incident, Moonstone revealed that the missing funds were sent to an exchange or counterpart using the Monerujo PocketChange. It then called on Monero exchanges and survive providers to alert them of any suspicious activity.<\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Realistic or not, here\u2019s <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/ambcrypto.com\/calculator\/marketcap\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">XMR\u2019s market cap in BTC terms<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Additionally, there has been a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/Monero\/comments\/17nbtgz\/moonstone_researchs_postmortem_of_monero_ccs_hack\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">discussion<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> about the incident on social media platform Reddit.
