Based on blockchain analytics company Lookonchain’s X Thursday night, the exploiter of the $230 million worth of cryptocurrencies from India’s WazirX<\/strong> has mostly moved most of the assets into ether.<\/p>\n

Lookonchain said in the X post<\/a> that the hacker has swapped the money for 43,800 ETH ($149.46 million) and has about 59,097 ETH. Remaining in Dent, Chromia, Celer Network, and Frontier tokens, the wallet has almost $15 million worth of cryptocurrencies.<\/p>\n

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

Targeting its multisignature wallet on the Ethereum network, the Indian crypto exchange experienced a $230 million hack on Thursday. Among the over 200 different crypto assets stolen were Shiba Inu, Ethereum, Polygon, and PePe memecoin.<\/p>\n

Since then, WazirX<\/strong> has stopped all withdrawals after acknowledging the security issue and characterizing the incident as a “force majeure event” outside its influence.<\/p>\n

Another blockchain analytics company, Elliptic, claimed in a paper that on-chain evidence points to hackers connected to North Korea having carried out the vulnerability.<\/p>\n
