Blockchain data shows that nearly 23,000 ETH was transferred into the victim’s account after negotiations opened on May 10.
The address poisoning attacker who tricked a user into sending them 1,155 Wrapped Bitcoin (wBTC) (worth $68 million at the time) has returned nearly all of the funds stolen, blockchain data shows. The funds had been swapped for Ether (ETH) during the time period that they were held by the attacker, and the price of ETH had fallen.
However, the attacker sent back approximately 22,960.07 ETH, worth $65.7 million, which represents over 96% of the US dollar value of the funds t originally stolen.
At 8:47 am UTC on May 10, multiple wallets began sending ETH to the account. The first transfer was for 29.999 ETH ($87,199 based on the ETH price at the time). Over the course of the next day, over 225 wallet transactions were made from various accounts to send ETH to the victim’s address. The value of each transaction ranged from 29 to 67 ETH.
