Moreover, the victims are all &#8220;<span class=\"css-901oao css-16my406 r-poiln3 r-bcqeeo r-qvutc0\">OGs who are reasonably secure.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>OGs targeted in sophisticated wallet heist<\/h2>\n<p>@tayvano_ pointed out that this is a sophisticated attack deliberately targeting OGs, reiterating that no one can work out where the exploit lies.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span class=\"css-901oao css-16my406 r-poiln3 r-bcqeeo r-qvutc0\">&#8220;This is NOT a low-brow phishing site or a random scammer. It has NOT rekt a single noob. It ONLY rekts OGs.&#8221;<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Forensic device examination has led nowhere \u2014 further stumping investigations into the method used to access the victims' wallet.<\/p>\n<p>The commonalities between cases were the keys were created between 2014 and 2022, and victims are &#8220;crypto native,&#8221; such as possessing multiple addresses and working within the crypto industry.<\/p>\n<p>The hacker will commit &#8220;primary&#8221; thefts, with &#8220;secondary&#8221; thefts following hours later to collect assets and dust missed during the initial heist \u2014 sometimes weeks or months later.<\/p>\n<p>In the case of large thefts, the attacker will swap assets into ETH inside the wallet, then send the tokens to a centralized swapper, including SimpleSwap and ChangeNOW \u2014 always swapping into Bitcoin (<a href=\"\/coins\/bitcoin\/\">BTC<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>Sitting on the swapped BTC for a week, the funds are sent to a mixer for address obfuscation.<\/p>\n<h2>Tips on staying safe<\/h2>\n<p>@tayvano_ speculates that the attacker has acquired a data cache from the victims' device. Using this, they can abstract the wallet keys \u2014 but the dev stresses that this is &#8220;just a guess.&#8221;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span class=\"css-901oao css-16my406 r-poiln3 r-bcqeeo r-qvutc0\">&#8220;My best guess rn is that someone has got themselves a fatty cache of data from 1+ yr ago & is methodically draining the keys as they parse them from the treasure trove.<\/span>&#8220;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The dev cautioned users to avoid storing all their digital assets on a single wallet key. Instead, people should split their crypto across multiple keys or hold assets on a hardware wallet.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span class=\"css-901oao css-16my406 r-poiln3 r-bcqeeo r-qvutc0\">&#8220;PLEASE DON'T KEEP ALL YOUR ASSETS IN A SINGLE KEY OR SECRET PHRASE FOR YEARS.
