According to BlockBeats, on September 15, the chain detective ZachXBT published an article criticizing the stablecoin USDC issuer Circle, accusing it of "never conducting a blacklist operation after the DeFi vulnerability/hacker attack, and continuing to profit from transactions despite having plenty of time."

ZachXBT said that compared with other major issuers, Circle took four and a half months to blacklist the addresses of the hacker group Lazarus Group. ZachXBT said, "Tired of your hypocritical moral statements because you are the root of the problem."
