"Blockchain Bandit" is back in action! 🎭 At the end of the year, he transferred 51,000 ETH (approximately $172 million) to a multi-signature wallet. Researcher ZachXBT reported that the funds came from 10 wallets that had been inactive for almost two years.

The bandit has been known since 2016 for "Ethercombing" — guessing weak private keys. Analysts suspect that state-sponsored hackers, possibly from North Korea, may be behind the attacks.

Recent activity may indicate preparations for laundering funds through mixers or decentralized exchanges.
