**The Legendary “Blockchain Bandit” Returns!**
- After a short break, the “Blockchain Bandit” is back in action by moving 51,000 ETH (around $172 million) to a multisig wallet. Wow, that’s a lot of ETH, even by bandit standards! 😄
- An investigation by ZachXBT revealed that the ETH came from 10 wallets that had been dormant since January 2023. Not only that, but 470 BTC were also moved.
- The bandit was notorious between 2016-2018 for his “Ethercombing” technique, guessing weak private keys using poor randomization algorithms. The result? Over 45,000 ETH stolen!
- Analysts suspect the involvement of a state actor, possibly a North Korean hacking group. Hmm, who would have thought? 🤔
- This latest activity could be preparation for laundering funds through mixers or DEXs. What do you think? Let’s discuss in the comments!
