According to Odaily, blockchain investigator ZachXBT has reported an increase in the total assets stolen by LastPass attackers, now amounting to $12.38 million. This sum has been taken from over 100 victim addresses. Previously, it was reported that the attackers had stolen approximately $5.36 million from more than 40 victim addresses.
The stolen funds were converted into Ethereum (ETH) and subsequently transferred from the Ethereum network to the Bitcoin network through instant exchanges. This method of transferring assets highlights the attackers' sophisticated approach to obscuring the trail of the stolen funds. ZachXBT's monitoring efforts have been crucial in tracking these transactions and providing updates on the evolving situation.
The increase in the number of affected addresses and the total amount stolen underscores the significant impact of the LastPass breach. The attackers' ability to exploit vulnerabilities and execute such a large-scale theft raises concerns about the security measures in place to protect digital assets. As investigations continue, the focus remains on identifying the perpetrators and recovering the stolen funds.
