Match Systems CEO Andrey Kutin revealed that digital evidence, including a device fingerprint, exposed the attacker behind the $68 million Wrapped Bitcoin (WBTC) theft. The attacker's lack of compliance with KYC and AML regulations made it challenging to definitively identify them. However, through secondary evidence, it was evident that negligence led to the stolen funds falling into their hands. The victim, initially confused by a fake transaction, sent $68 million worth of WBTC to the attacker, resulting in a 97% loss. Match Systems facilitated negotiations that led to the return of most funds. By leveraging digital evidence like IP addresses and device fingerprints, the team convinced the attacker to return the stolen funds. While the attacker remains unpunished, the victim recovered their funds, highlighting the importance of due diligence in crypto transactions to prevent such attacks.
