Blockchain detectives have identified the wallet addresses in actual use and those exploited. According to Debank data, in this attack, approximately $20 million worth of Wrapped Ether (wETH), $7 million in Ether invested in Wrapped Lido (wstETH), and $4 million in Arbitrum (ARB), for a total of about $46 million in assets were stolen.
The stolen funds were distributed across multiple chains, including Arbitrum, Optimism, Ethereum, Polygon, and Base. In a post, the Blockchain detective “Spreek” indicated that this situation was not related to a confirmation issue, but only to the total value held in the Kyber pool.
The attacker left a trail on the chain by leaving a message that seemed to say, “I will start negotiations when I am fully listened,” for protocol developers and DAO members.
