Latest developments from the record breaking $282 million wallet theft indicate that cybercriminals have initiated a large scale process to cover their tracks.

🔸 These funds were initially transferred to an intermediate address (0xF73a...cc21). Shortly after, onchain data confirmed that the entire amount was deposited into the notorious mixer protocol often used by hackers to sever transaction trails.
🔸 Funneling tens of millions of dollars into mixer protocol suggests the hacker is rushing to clean the illicit funds for cashout, despite close surveillance from the community and blockchain security firms.
With mixer protocol remaining the black box of the Crypto world, will modern onchain analysis tools be robust enough to trace the final destination of this dirty money?
