Since the beginning of July, more than $35 million received as a result of the May hacking of the DMM Bitcoin cryptocurrency exchange has been laundered through the Cambodian online marketplace Huione Guarantee. This was noticed by on-chain researcher ZachXBT.
According to him, hackers initially passed the stolen bitcoins through mixers, and then exchanged them for Ethereum and Avalanche through the cross-chain liquidity protocol THORChain.
Next, the assets were converted to USDT, then to Tron, and in the final they ended up on Huione Guarantee.
One of the transfers worth $29.6 million to the Huione account was blocked, as on July 12, the issuer of the Tether stablecoin blacklisted one of the hacker Tron wallets.
The same address, according to ZachXBT, in three days withdrew about $14 million of funds stolen from DMM Bitcoin.
The researcher also shared 538 wallets involved in hacking the exchange.
ZachXBT suggested that Lazarus Group was behind the incident, "since the methods of money laundering and off-chain indicators are similar."
Earlier, Elliptic analysts reported that the online marketplace Huione Guarantee processed fraudulent transactions worth $11 billion.
Recall that on May 30, DMM Bitcoin, based in Japan, lost $305 million in bitcoins as a result of hacking.
About a week later, the exchange raised $320 million to compensate users.
