PANews reported on May 21 that, according to Finance Feeds, Specter Analyst's monitoring revealed that a high-net-worth investor holding substantial digital assets was suspected of being the victim of a violent coercive attack, losing approximately $6.7 million. The attacker forced the victim to withdraw 1,554 Ethereum and 10.5 Bitcoins from their Kraken account, and 34.1 cbBTC from their Coinbase account. The stolen funds were quickly routed through intermediary wallets, with over $5.3 million deposited into a Tornado Cash mixer. Specter Analyst points out that this incident demonstrates that despite security measures such as biometrics and multi-factor authentication, human factors remain the primary threat vector, and real-world criminal organizations are combining burglaries with crypto money laundering tools.
