79AU operators of the hot wallet attacker have returned 15,000 BNB, worth approximately 11 million USD

According to monitoring by PeckShield, the attacker of the 79AU operational hot wallet 79thVault has returned 15,000 BNB, worth approximately 11 million USD, to the wallet address designated by the project team. Additionally, the attacker previously deposited 30 BNB into KuCoin. The current status of the remaining funds is still unclear.

Previously, 79thVault on BNB Chain lost approximately 12.5 million USD, possibly due to a private key leak. The team typically operates the hot wallet for small transfers to the reward pool. However, recently this address transferred a total of 2.01 million 79AU to external addresses in 7 transactions, with amounts of 10,000, 100,000, 100,000, 300,000, 500,000, 500,000, and 500,000 coins respectively.
