Analysis: Some of the funds stolen from FTX may be related to Russian cybercriminal groups

Odaily Planet Daily News Citing on-chain analysis, research company Elliptic said that part of the estimated $400 million stolen from FTX may be related to Russian cybercriminal organizations. Elliptic said the suspects included employees of FTX, who said the attacker was the North Korean hacker group Lazarus. However, on-chain signs point to a Russian group. Elliptic said that “a significant amount of the stolen assets that can be traced through ChipMixer were mixed with Russian-linked criminal groups, including ransomware gangs and darknet markets, and then sent to exchanges. This indicates that there is a connection with Russia. Relevant brokers or other intermediaries are involved.” (CoinDesk)
