Microsoft Listing Fake Ledger App Leads to $590K of Bitcoin Stolen By Hackers
Hackers stole 16.8 bitcoin [BTC] over the weekend after a fake Ledger Live app was posted on the Microsoft app store.
Blockchain analyst ZachXBT said on social media platform X (formerly Twitter) that an additional $180,000 had been stolen across Ethereum and BNB Smart Chain (BSC), bringing the total to $770,000.
On-chain data shows that the hacker received a total of 38 inbound BTC transactions spanning between Oct. 24 and Nov. 5.
The hacker then consolidated those funds before splitting them across numerous wallets in an attempt to cover the trail.
Ledger Live is an app that lets ledger hardware wallet users access and send their assets. It remains unclear how a fake app was approved by the Microsoft store.
Cryptocurrency hacks have been prevalent during the recent rise in asset prices. Last week, hackers managed to siphon $4.4 million worth of crypto from LastPass, a password storage manager that was breached in 2022
Microsoft did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Kronos Research Promises $2.5M to Hacker but There’s Catch
Coinspeaker Kronos Research Promises $2.5M to Hacker but There’s Catch
Cryptocurrency trading firm Kronos Research has extended what seems like a good-faith gesture to its recent hacker. In mid-November, the Taipei-based investment firm was exploited via stolen API keys.
The crypto trading firm has since taken to its official X page to announce the security breach. It said the breach saw the hacker making away with a total of $25 million, a significant loss for the platform.
In an attempt to calm its users, Kronos issued the following statement via an X post:
“At present, we can confirm that the losses are about $26 million in crypto assets, and despite it being a sizable amount, Kronos remains in good standing. All losses will be covered internally, and no partners will be affected.”
Interestingly, it looks like one way that Kronos intends to cover the losses “internally” is by negotiating with the attacker. A recent message that Kronos sent to the hacker shows the firm requesting that the attacker return 90% of the stolen funds. This means that they get to keep the remaining 10% to themselves. Kronos also promises that there would be no further action from its end once these conditions are met, Etherscan reveals.
It is not exactly clear whether or not the hacker will choose to return the funds. However, Kronos may have subtly suggested in its message that failure to do so would result in the involvement of relevant authorities on the matter.
Kronos Research Hack: Another Proof of a Growing Trend of Hacker Negotiations
It is worth mentioning that the unfolding events in the Kronos hack point to the fact that public, on-chain negotiations between hackers and their victims have become increasingly common.
Just as with Kronos, KyberSwap also recently gave 10% away to an attacker who recently stole funds from the decentralized exchange. Similarly, Curve Finance did the same in August. It negotiated with hackers via transaction signing and also gave out the same 10%.
Whatever might be the case, these occurrences are gradually becoming a trend. A trend where firms may just unknowingly be encouraging continued bad acting without any serious consequences to these hackers.
To put the above statement into perspective, over $1.2 billion has been stolen from Decentralized Finance (DeFi) protocols. That is so far in 2023 alone, according to DeFiLlama.

#FTX #Hacker Moves Over $38 Million Amid CEO's Legal Troubles
Over the past few days, the entity responsible for the suspicious withdrawal of funds from the collapsed cryptocurrency exchange FTX, commonly referred to as the "FTX hacker," has transferred an additional 7,500 #ETH (approximately $12.6 million).
According to the analytics firm Lookonchain, a total of 22,500 ETH (approximately $38 million) has been moved in the last two days. The FTX hacker currently holds over 163,000 ETH (approximately $275 million) across multiple wallets.
This transfer of funds by the FTX hacker coincides with the impending start of a trial against Sam Bankman-Fried, the former CEO and founder of the exchange, who is facing charges of fraud and money laundering, set to commence this Tuesday.
It's worth noting that the hacker activated the account back in 2022 when the new CEO, John Ray III, revealed unauthorized access to certain assets. According to blockchain analytics company Elliptic, FTX experienced the theft of around $477 million worth of cryptocurrencies.
The stolen funds were converted into various digital coins, with a significant portion (over $280 million) exchanged for ETH, according to publicly available blockchain records tied to the hackers.
Tom Robinson, the co-founder of Elliptic, stated that the hackers converted ETH into a crypto product called RenBTC, which was then converted into Bitcoins through a bridge. This method allowed them to convert one cryptocurrency into another without a centralized exchange.
Researchers at Elliptic documented how RenBridge was used to launder "hundreds of millions" of dollars in cryptocurrency, likely obtained from ransomware attacks or hacking incidents. According to Elliptic, some of these hackers have ties to Russia-backed ransomware groups.
Messages in the FTX Telegram thread indicated that the application and platform were compromised and hacked. The software development company confirmed that hackers were moving funds.
Please note that this information is subject to change as the situation develops further.

Çağatay Evyapan: The Evil Machinations of the World Famous Hacker. 👨🏻💻🌐
Çağatay Evyapan was a hacker known by his code name ChaO and was one of the main actors of forgery and fraud cases at the international level. He was wanted by the FBI and Interpol and arrested by the Istanbul Police Department in 2008.
The use of different IP addresses by communicating with customers in a virtual environment made it difficult to track them. He was producing devices for robbing ATMs and selling them to different countries. He was storing the money through virtual currency units instead of transferring it directly to his accounts.
he carried out the first credit card fraud in Turkey in 1993 and was later caught with various operations. During his last arrest, he revealed that he was planning to defraud Bank of America with ATM mechanisms.
The FBI obtained Evyapan's photo by infiltrating a website called DarkMarket and collected information for the operation. Evyapan, when his friend Kier was trapped, his photo was seized and his house was identified. Evyapan was surprised to know that the policemen were both Çağatay and ChaO during the operation.
The head of the FBI came to Turkey due to the success of the operation and gave a plaque of gratitude to the teams. He is currently still in prison.

3 unique ways hackers are stealing your crypto!
#crypto #cryptonews
Blockchain investigator Bitrace has identified three effective ways hackers gain access to crypto investors’ wallets — search engines such as Google and Bing, pasteboard hijacking and Liquidity mining and coin theft.
Crypto investors claiming “my coins disappeared suddenly” have been found to have recently downloaded crypto applications from unverified sources. Attackers use Search Engine Optimization (SEO) techniques to rank higher on internet searches, unknowingly coercing users to download and sign up to fake apps with backdoors.
Pastaboard hijacking involves the process of automatically grabbing or modifying previously copied text data from clipboards. The technique often skims seed phrases of users, which can be used later to access wallets and drain funds. Bitrace highlighted how a fake Telegram app was being used to replace the destination wallet address copied in the clipboard, causing users to send their tokens to the hacker.
Finally, the classic “high yield and low risk” liquidity scams also ranked as one of the three most popular scams resulting in the disappearance of tokens. Bitrace recommended three methods crypto users could use to trace the stolen funds, starting with tracing back the transaction fees. Investigators often find the hacker’s address by tracking down the source of the transaction fees that was paid to move the stolen funds.
Other ways investors can improve their chances of retrieving stolen funds include using blockchain explorers and professional tools. To know more about how to track stolen crypto, read Cointelegraph Research’s article on how blockchain analysis helps recover funds.
In addition to targeting investors, attackers often steal funds from crypto organizations as well. As part of the remediation of a recent exploit, Maestrobots, a group of cryptocurrency bots on the Telegram messenger app, paid a total of 610 ETH in its own revenue to cover all the user losses, worth more than $1 million.
