I love Dan and folks like @mcutler who take the time to write this shit up in glorious detail.

Another lesson: people w deep niche expertise don't get crazy loud w what they know to be true. It can be weird bc they do yell about theoretical specs. Inverse them both. Then, run πŸ˜‚ ImageImageImage
Related readings bc this topic is endlessly fascinating.

1 year.

144 OKX Accounts.

263,000 deposits.

$2,940,000,000 dollars.

Thats 700 txns / $8 million dollars EVERY DAY.

Whatever you think you know abt OKX helping human-trafficking international scam compounds launder their money, it's so much worse. 😨

I went through the addresses in the MilkSad list for this specific vuln to see what else was there.

There's 64 addresses in this batch.

The Chen Zhi/Lubian addresses were the only ones with real balances at the time.

Meaning: it wasn't like someone was picking and choosing. Image
For reference, the research + dataset I'm referencing here is:

milksad.info/posts/research…

git.distrust.co/milksad/data/s…

I'll break down the different activity for these addresses.

This first witness in Roman's trial immediately caught my attention bc the victim was a classic Pig Butchering case.

The only issue is....uh.....those scammers don't use Tornado Cash? And they never have?

So, like, wtf?
I'm not talking out of my ass here.

My team and I have talked to thousands of these victims. We've tracked nearly a billion dollars stolen on Ethereum.

We have a dashboard for all known victims of the "Approval" variant of this scam btwn 2021-2023.

dune.com/tayvano/sha-zh…
So..why did this victim end up on the stand in the Tornado trial?

Simple question. Insane journey of an answer.

It all starts with a dude on WhatsApp/Line and a website "NTU Capital."

He makes promises. She wires $250k. The money goes *poof.*

People keep calling this is the "largest crypto hack ever" but I think it might be the largest hack ever....period?
Bangladesh Bank Heist (also DPRK 🫠) was *almost* $1 billy ($951m) But....

1. There was a lil glitchy so they only got $100m out initially and then $20m was quickly recovered. Total loss ended up being ~$81m.

2. Bybit Hack is bigger than that either way

bbc.com/news/stories-5…
Carbanak thefts (2013-2015) were maybe ~$1 billy when it was all said and done. But...

1. It was a series of hacks against different banks over a couple years.

2. That's more like saying all of DPRK's crypto or SWIFT heists were a single theft.

3. Bybit Hack is bigger than that.

4. $4B-$5B (DPRK's crypto thefts) is also bigger than that.

🚨 Heads up allβ€”some dudes have a slick, new way of dropping some nasty malware.

Feels infostealer-y on the surface but...its not.🫠

It'll really, deeply rekt you.

Pls share this w/ your friends, devs, and multisig signers. Everyone needs to be careful + stay skeptical. πŸ™Image
If you get hit with this, you need to wipe your computer. Esp. if your wallets haven't been drained.

Shoot SEAL-911 a message @ and we will help you assess -> next steps.

p.s. mention 'Willo' so we can help you faster (holidays, ppl are afk, etc.)t.me/seal_911_bot
How it works / what we've seen:

Usually starts with a "recruiter" from known company e.g. Kraken, MEXC, Gemini, Meta.

Pay ranges + messaging style are attractiveβ€”even to those not actively job hunting.

Mostly via Linkedin. Also freelancer sites, job sites, tg, discord, etc.Image
