Blockchain firms TRM Labs and Chainalysis independently corroborated the FBI's attribution of the attack to TraderTraitor. The FBI issued a blocklist of over 600 Ethereum addresses, nearly 20 Bitcoin addresses, and one Solana address. Chainalysis CEO Jonathan Levin warned that attackers could use tens of thousands of addresses to launder funds. Tether froze nearly $1.6 billion in USDT and Circle blocked over $800 million in USDC linked to the attack. Coverage rose from 90% to 95% by Nov. 1. The hack was allegedly initiated by compromising a DevOps engineer's laptop.
