Article Rewritten:
In the latest update on the notorious cyber criminal known as “PinkDrainer,” it has been revealed that the stolen cryptocurrency is being laundered through a series of addresses in order to avoid detection. The total amount of money that has gone undetected after five transfers is nearly $5.9 million.
This audacious act highlights the threat that sophisticated cyber criminals pose to the crypto world. PinkDrainer has put together a complex scheme to shuffle the stolen funds through five different addresses, ultimately diverting large sums of money to another wallet.
A recent alert has been issued, warning that PinkDrainer has initiated the process of funneling the stolen funds through these five distinct addresses. The digital assets, including $2 million worth of 600 ETH, have already been transferred through Railgun, a presumed platform that PinkDrainer may have used for illegal activities.
The detection of numerous phishing cases connected to the PinkDrainer campaign signifies a widespread epidemic of these attacks targeting unsuspecting crypto users. One victim, identified through the address [0x32d1777d2b5f07a4f8746fb0b8ad1283cfacfe72], lost $271,000 worth of digital assets in a single transaction. Another victim, [0xa1b18428c2b82d14a8f66f9295bdd9a2a1f89c11], suffered a serious loss of 208,000 USDC due to PinkDrainer’s malicious activities.
The stolen USDC and WBTC tokens have been systematically converted to ETH and stored in PinkDrainer’s address [0x7df839911cc8d738b8303a1cf94f1b9a0a6ac8c1]. The analysis of the blockchain provides a clear example of the sophisticated scheme employed by this prominent crypto thief, who is skilled at obscuring the origins of the stolen funds.
Authorities and security experts are closely monitoring the situation. It is crucial for crypto platforms and individuals to remain vigilant and implement strong security measures to protect against these criminal activities.
Stay updated on the latest developments as authorities continue their efforts to crack the case of PinkDrainer, who is still at large.
