SOL0,88%
ETH1,21%

Odaily Planet Daily reports that SlowMist’s Cosine posted on the X platform that user Babur suffered a theft of crypto assets worth $27 million. According to the analysis, the stolen assets mainly involved two addresses: Solana address 91xu and Ethereum Safe multisig address 0xD2, with the two largest stolen amounts totaling over $18 million. The hacker addresses are 71fM (Solana) and 0x4f (Ethereum), and part of the funds have already been bridged to the Ethereum network. The incident is suspected to have been caused by a computer virus; after the user double-clicked and ran a malicious file, the private keys were leaked, including two signature private keys for the Safe multisig that may have been stored on the infected computer.
