약 93.7만명의 X(구 트위터) 팔로워를 보유한 블록체인 보안 전문가 잭XBT가 "한국시간 기준 1월 11일 오전 8시 경 발생한 하드웨어 지갑 엔지니어링 스캠 피해로 약 2억 8,200 달러 이상의 LTC, BTC가 도난당했다. 공격자는 탈취한 LTC와 BTC를 복수의 거래소를 통해 모네로(XMR)로 환전하기 시작했으며, 이로 인해 XMR 가격 급등이 시작됐다"고 분석했다. 이어 그는 "현재 공격자는 205만 LTC, 1,459 BTC를 보유 중이며, BTC의 경우 토르체인(RUNE)을 통해 이더리움(ETH), 리플(XRP), 라이트코인(LTC) 등 네트워크로 브릿징됐다"고 덧붙였다.

According to blockchain security expert JackXBT, who has about 937,000 followers on X (formerly Twitter), &quot;Over $282 million worth of LTC and BTC were stolen due to a hardware wallet engineering scam that occurred around 8:00 AM KST on January 11th. The attacker began exchanging the stolen LTC and BTC to Monero (XMR) through multiple exchanges, which caused the price of XMR to surge.&quot; He added, &quot;Currently, the attacker holds 2.05 million LTC and 1,459 BTC, and the BTC has been bridged to networks such as Ethereum (ETH), Ripple (XRP), and Litecoin (LTC) via Thorchain (RUNE).&quot;
