REKT reports that Atomic Wallet users lost more than $100 million after addresses on 13 chains were drained beginning on June 2, 2023, with both desktop and mobile users affected. The article says stolen assets were moved through a three-step process in which funds were transferred to new addresses, swapped into native assets, and consolidated, with tracing led by ZachXBT and Tayvano. Laundering patterns were attributed to North Korea’s Lazarus Group, including movement to the Sinbad Bitcoin mixer, formerly Blender, while the root cause remained unconfirmed. The source discusses possible vectors such as BGP hijacking, unresolved wallet vulnerabilities, or leakage of sensitive logged data, but does not present a definitive cause.
