China-Based Hacker Group Steals $7M in Crypto via Wallet Supply Chain Attacks

A Chinese hacker group operating under the name Wuhan Anshun Technology has been accused of stealing approximately $7 million in cryptocurrency through supply-chain attacks targeting users of wallets like Trust Wallet. The group used malicious browser extensions and compromised Electron-based apps to collect wallet information and transfer funds, primarily on Ethereum, BNB Chain, and Arbitrum. Details emerged after an internal member leaked information due to disputes over profit sharing, releasing evidence and expressing intent to surrender to authorities. While the case remains unconfirmed by officials, it highlights significant security risks in crypto software. Experts advise caution when updating or installing wallet-related tools.

Change Of Heart? Hacker Returns $21M Stolen Bitcoin To South Korean Prosecutors

A hacker has returned 320.8 Bitcoin (BTC), worth $21 million, to South Korean prosecutors after stealing it in a phishing attack in August. The funds were originally seized during a 2021 illegal gambling investigation and were lost when investigators mistakenly accessed a phishing site. Authorities believe pressure from blocking transactions and requesting cooperation from exchanges led to the return. Despite the recovery, the Gwangju District Prosecutors’ Office pledged to continue investigating to apprehend the perpetrators. This incident, along with another loss of 22 BTC at a Seoul police station, has raised concerns about South Korea’s custody of virtual assets. The country is preparing for the Second Phase of the Virtual Asset User Protection Act to address such vulnerabilities. Recent issues, including a "ghost Bitcoin" error at Bithumb that distributed non-existent assets, have prompted financial authorities to inspect exchanges and consider stronger prosecution measures for crypto crimes.

Crypto Hacker Behind Infini Exploit Returns, Moves $32M ETH in Fresh Transfers

A cryptocurrency wallet linked to the 2025 Infini exploit has resumed activity after 200 days, moving $32 million worth of Ethereum. According to Lookonchain, the wallet purchased 6,316 ETH at an average price of $2,109 during the recent market dip and immediately transferred the entire amount to the privacy service Tornado Cash. This activity, confirmed by security firms PeckShield and CertiK, follows a pattern of the entity accumulating ETH near market lows and moving funds through mixers to obscure tracing. The wallet was originally funded from the Infini hack, which lost $49.5 million in digital assets. Recovery remains difficult once funds enter mixing services like Tornado Cash.

Gnosis announces hard fork to recover funds from Balancer exploit

Gnosis Chain has executed a hard fork to recover funds stolen during a $116 million Balancer exploit that occurred in November. The hard fork, carried out on Monday, follows a prior soft fork adopted by a majority of validators. According to Gnosis, the recovered funds are now out of the hacker’s control, though specific details on how users can reclaim their assets are still under community discussion. The team aims to enable fund recovery by Christmas, after which distribution mechanisms will be finalized. The original Balancer exploit targeted V2 Composable Stable Pools and resulted in over $116 million in outflows, with white hat hackers later recovering about $28 million. Despite 11 prior audits, the vulnerability was not detected.
