On-chain data shows that the WazirX exploiter has converted most of the stolen assets from the Indian crypto platform into Ethereum<\/a>.<\/p>\n

On July 18, WazirX was exploited for around $235 million<\/a> in several digital assets, with blockchain investigators suggesting that the North Korea-backed Lazarus Group<\/a> perpetrated the attack.<\/p>\n

While the exchange quickly implemented measures to stop the theft, recovering the funds seems unlikely as the attacker actively converts the stolen assets into ETH, the second-largest digital asset by market capitalization.<\/p>\n

WazirX exploiter holds nearly 60,000 ETH.<\/h2>\n

Blockchain analyst Lookonchain reported<\/a> that the WazirX exploiter had converted most of the stolen assets to 43,800 ETH, worth $149.46 million. This brings the total ETH in the attacker holding to 59,097 ETH, valued at around $201.67 million.<\/p>\n

Market observers suggested that the asset conversion was part of a sophisticated money laundering technique that also involves using crypto mixing services like Tornado Cash to obfuscate the transaction trails.<\/p>\n

Despite this, the exploiter's address still has up to $15 million worth of other relatively lesser-known digital assets left. This includes 1.66 billion DENT, worth $1.56 million, and 6.76 million CHR, worth $1.72 million, among others.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, on-chain data shows the exploiter sent 7.7 million DENT, worth $7,300, to a new Binance deposit address. Lookonchain said:<\/p>\n

“It is worth noting that the WazirX exploiter deposited 7.7 million DENT ($7.3K) to a Binance deposit address that has not been used before.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

‘Force Majeure'<\/h2>\n

A post-mortem report<\/a> from the exchange showed that the affected wallet used Liminal's services, a digital asset custody and wallet infrastructure provider.<\/p>\n

WazirX explained that the exploit resulted from discrepancies between the data on Liminal's interface and the transaction's content. It wrote:<\/p>\n

“During the cyber attack, there was a mismatch between the information displayed on Liminal\u2019s interface and what was actually signed. We suspect the payload was replaced to transfer wallet control to an attacker.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The exchange also described the attack as a “force majeure” event beyond its control and assured it was actively working to recover the stolen funds.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
