The biggest Twitter hack in history helped attackers to collect some USD 120,000 in bitcoin (BTC) that are currently on the move, according to blockchain analysis companies.
“Three bitcoin addresses were used, which together received around 400 payments. The total value of the bitcoin payments received is approximately USD 120,000. Approximately half of these payments originated from US-based exchanges, suggesting that around half of the victims of this scam are based in the US. The remainder is fairly evenly split between Asia and Europe,” Elliptic said.
According to them, there is no clear evidence that these funds have moved to exchanges yet.
“However, some of these funds have moved through a wallet that has previously transacted with exchanges. This could be an important lead for law enforcement investigators seeking to identify the hacker,” they said.
