In a recent tweet, on-chain crypto detective ZachXBT said that the hackers had moved $64 million over the weekend.
The security team of login password exchange Binance and Huobi joined forces to freeze clean and recover 121BTC (BTC) from the hackers behind the Harmony Bridge vulnerability.
In one tweet, BinanceCEO Zhao Changpeng announced that the hackers tried to launder money with the Fire Exchange. After Binance knew about it, they contacted and instructed Huobi to freeze clean and recover the digital currency stored by the hackers.
According to Zhao, such exchanges have recovered a total of 121 BTC, which may be worth about $2.5 million at the time of writing.
Before Binance and Huobi detected and frozen assets, the password detective ZachXBT on the chain noticed that the hacker behind the attack moved 41000 ETH on Sunday, worth about $64 million.
According to password detectives, hackers collectively deposit digital currencies in three different types of login password exchanges after transferring funds. However, the chain probe did not specify the name of the exchange used by the exploiters.
On June 24th, 2022, the elite team of Harmony detected the vulnerability and reported that $100m of assets had been leaked. The hacker attack showed the anxiety that the community team members had to make clear about some mutilated wallets of the fixed dawn overpass.
On June 30th Lazarus Group, a notorious North Korean hacker organization, was identified as the suspect behind the use of $100m worth of amicable hackers. Blockchain technology analysis enterprise Elliptic stressed that the way the hackers attacked was similar to many of Lazarus Group's attacks.
The dawn overpass hacker attack is one of the biggest loopholes and hacker attacks in 2022. Analysts believe that the purpose of the Lazarus Group is for employees to log in vouchers in order to conquer Harmony's protection system. The hacker then started the money laundering process to move the stolen property.
