Bitget Theft Linked On-Chain to Funds From July AFX Hack
Stolen XRP allegedly moved through a chain connected to roughly $24 million taken in the AFX attack. The link remains unconfirmed.
On-chain analyst Specter said stolen XRP from the Bitget attack was linked on-chain to funds taken in the July AFX hack, raising a possible connection to Lazarus Group.
On-chain analyst Specter said the XRP was moved across chains and could be traced directly to assets associated with the AFX attack. The AFX incident involved roughly $24 million in stolen funds.
Specter said the transaction trail could indicate a connection to Lazarus Group. That attribution remains unconfirmed.
The link could connect two major crypto thefts through the movement of the stolen assets, but additional verification is needed before responsibility can be established.
