Coldcard hacker transfers funds to ETH

Alex Thorn reports that the exploiter behind the third wave of the Coldcard attacks has moved stolen funds on-chain for the first time. The hacker swapped the assets to ETH using the THORChain cross-chain decentralized exchange.

According to Thorn, this is the first instance of funds from waves 1, 2, or 3 being transferred on-chain from the original hacker addresses.

Thorn previously analyzed the Coldcard exploit’s immediate impact on affected users and the bitcoin market in a detailed report. In a follow-up, he reported that assistance for Coldcard victims was in progress as teams handled a high volume of tracing requests and maintenance needs, according to an update. These developments follow ongoing efforts to address losses from the reported waves of attacks.
