Blockchain data shows that other portions of the stolen $90 million are being filtered through cryptocurrency exchanges such as Binance, Poloniex, Uniswap, Huobi, and others.
The japanese exchange Liquid had disclosed the breach Thursday in their tweet, pointing at several wallets that it said hackers used to siphon out multiple cryptocurrencies.
Cryptocurrency news site Coindesk received word from a couple exchanges that some wallets have been frozen if they were suspected to be related to the hack, which resumes an earlier debate about the power that exchanges have over people’s funds. However, considering the funds were allegedly obtained illegally, it’s presumed that these exchanges are asking for strict account identity verification for withdrawal.
Later, Liquid tweeted more crypto addresses it identified as the hacker’s, said it halted crypto withdrawals and filed a suspicious transaction report with the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS), the country’s financial regulator. On Saturday, Liquid said it updated the exchange’s wallet infrastructure and had been migrating users’ funds “to the new secure vaults.”
