Cardano (ADA)

UPDATE: #Cardano $ADA Founder Charles Hoskinson says "I just don't wanna see this thing die. I spent so much of my life and time, and so much of my cognitive effort into waking up everyday and saying how do we build something great and make something successful."

To the attacker, there is still time to return what is not rightfully yours.

This is still a work in progress, but the attack is currently looking like 1,961 separate drains.

The attacker’s initial transaction appears to have been funded by what looks like Binance. Bubble sizes in the visualisation reflect outflow size, with the largest drains currently showing as 4.26 million ADA, 3.64 million ADA, 3.22 million ADA, and so on.

The total is currently looking like 60.39 million ADA, excluding token amounts.

I want to be clear that this analysis is ongoing, but I am happy to keep working on it and provide a full forensic report to assist exchanges, Binance, and any relevant parties in tracing the flow of funds to the attacker.

I built the tooling for this analysis under difficult circumstances, despite the personal attacks, transparency matters in incidents like this. The community deserves clear data.

More to come. I hope this helps.

Do not underestimate this community.
