On-chain clown of the day: The threat actor who hacked Andy Ayrey sold PNUT early for $6.4K and missed out on $31.6M.

Do not expect my help with ecosystems where people do not actively support my work (Arbitrum, Cosmos, zkSync, Aptos, Sui, Scroll, etc).

I currently only assist people on the chains which make my work possible: Solana, Ethereum, Bitcoin, OP/Stark.

There is already many scams as is so I would rather focus my time on helping the ecosystems which give back and fund public goods (I receive 1K+ inbounds / month).

This is just a general reminder for all of those people who think they are entitled to my time for free.

Looks like the crypto casino Metawin was exploited for $4M+ on Ethereum and Solana earlier today.

See 115+ theft addresses tied to the exploiter here.

So far stolen funds have been transferred to Kucoin and a HitBTC nested service.

I did some initial tracing for the Andy Ayrey (Truth Terminal creator) hack this week which lead to $1.5M+ stolen from deploying multiple bundled meme coins and found one of the people involved in the incident appears to be a FWOG whale.

Update: The threat actor just transferred $19.2M back to the compromised US government address in the last 30 minutes.

This amount does not include the funds already transferred to instant exchanges (Switchain, HitBTC, N Exchange).

Update: Looks like Transak corrected the blog after my post to say the breach also included ID documents (passport, driver license, etc) and user selfies unlike what they previously said.

Looks like the crypto payments provider Transak was recently breached by a ransomware group who claims responsibility.

Transak in a blog post earlier today stated it is limited to names and basic identity info for a small portion of users while the ransomware group alleges it also includes PII and is a larger set of users.

According to Transak's website it has been integrated by Metamask, Trust Wallet, Coinbase, Ledger, etc for fiat to crypto on/off ramps

It also looks like Masa never disclosed their hack to the community for six figures on September 20, 2024.

Here are the theft addresses below and a screenshot of outflows from the Masa deployer

Tapioca DAO hack is likely the result of a team member downloading malware as the theft is tied on-chain to other recent hacks such as Nexera, Concentric, Masa, SpaceCatch, Reach, Serenity Shield, MurAll, etc I have previously covered which were the result of fake job scams (contagious interview)

Stolen funds from this incident were bridged from Arbitrum to BSC where ~$4.7M currently sits.

Probably will do Solana, Sui, Base, Arbitrum, or Aptos at some point as the exchange attribution on those chains is awful for anyone who frequently checks the chain.

I went and attributed 15 exchange hot wallets on Starknet so they would be publicly tagged on block explorers as I noticed none were previously tagged anywhere (sharing them below).

Which ecosystem should I do next?

Any interested teams send me a message on X/Twitter.

Have seen an uptick in irl robberies targeting crypto traders located in Western Europe over the past few months.

The cases all involve known people in the crypto community where they were held at gunpoint.

As the rest of the cycle continues be extra mindful of who you share your wins with and meet up with irl.
