Ah, the digital realm, a labyrinthine expanse where shadows dance and fortunes vanish! On the fateful day of February 27, the vigilant guardians of onchain cybersecurity, known as Cyvers, unearthed a most suspicious outflow from a wallet, a wallet that bore the name of none other than Suji Yan, the illustrious founder of Mask Network. What a tangled web we weave!
In a twist befitting a Dostoevskian narrative, it was revealed that other nefarious addresses had received a staggering sum of approximately $4 million in cryptocurrencies, with Ether (ETH)-linked tokens leading the charge. One cannot help but chuckle at the absurdity of it all! 😂
Among the digital spoils, the assets suspected to have been pilfered included a rather precise 113 ETH, a sum that, at the time of this writing, was valued at over $265,000. But wait, there’s more! The list continues with 923 WETH, 301 ezETH, 156 weETH, 90 pufET, 48,400 MASK, 50,000 USDt (USDT), and a mere 15 swETH. Such a bounty, yet so fleeting! 🤑
In the aftermath of this initial compromise, the funds, like a flock of frightened birds, were swiftly swapped to ETH and funneled through six different wallets, one of which bore the ominous ending “df7.” Meir Dolev, the co-founder of Cyvers, shared his thoughts with CryptoMoon, uttering words that echoed through the digital ether:
“This incident underscores the increasing sophistication of threat actors in the Web3 space and highlights the urgent need for real-time transaction monitoring, preemptive prevention and rapid incident response.”
Ah, the irony! This incident is but the latest in a series of high-profile hacks and exploits, a veritable parade of misfortune, including the infamous $1.4 billion Bybit hack on February 21 and the Pump.fun social media hack on February 26. What a time to be alive!
And so, dear reader, this tale is still unfolding, a developing story that promises more twists and turns as the days go by. Stay tuned, for the digital world is a stage, and we are but players in this grand tragedy!
