On the evening of January 10th, an on-chain monitoring organization detected a major theft incident. The victim was scammed through social engineering targeting their hardware wallet, resulting in an instant loss of over $282 million worth of LTC and BTC. The attacker used professional techniques, quickly converting the stolen LTC and BTC into Monero via multiple instant exchange platforms, which directly caused a short-term surge in XMR price. Interestingly, some of the BTC were also bridged across chains via Thorchain to the Ethereum, Ripple, and Litecoin networks. This operation not only reflects the current activity level of the cross-chain ecosystem but also exposes the market volatility that can be triggered by large asset transfers. According to on-chain data, such high-value theft incidents remain a significant security risk in Web3.
