- This move resulted in a loss of $4.56 million.
A hacker panicked and sold 9,240 Ether during today's market crash, resulting in a loss of $4.56 million on the trade. The culprits are believed to have fraudulently obtained crypto assets through recent exploits and carried out large-scale sales amid widespread market volatility affecting Ethereum and other digital assets.
The hackers involved in the large-scale currency theft have been observed to exhibit reactive trading patterns during the recent market downturn, with some buying back Ethereum after initial panic selling during the price drop.
These organizations have repeatedly engaged in swing trades in Ethereum, attempting to take advantage of price rebounds associated with abuse-related asset movements. Trading behavior highlights continuing challenges as stolen funds continue to circulate through decentralized markets.
