Blockchain investigator ZachXBT reported on Nov. 2 that an unidentified EU entity may have lost more than $106 million from accounts at multiple crypto exchanges on Sunday, per a Telegram alert. The suspected attacker withdrew funds in USDC and USDT, then moved them through ether, instant-exchange services including WellWallet and Kyrrez, and converted some into Monero via Wagyu — an asset that obscures transaction details and can't be frozen by a central issuer.
- ZachXBT published 11 wallet addresses tied to the suspected theft but did not name the victim, the affected exchanges, or how the accounts were accessed; the losses have not been independently confirmed.
- He said he is "highly confident" the attacker is not Lazarus Group based on laundering indicators.
- The report lands days after the record $6.4 billion Binance hack and alongside other suspected exchange thefts, though neither the EU entity nor any exchange has publicly confirmed this incident.
