Summary
Indian exchange WazirX suffered a $235 million cyber breach, targeting multi-sig wallets. Elliptic linked the theft to North Korean hackers, part of a pattern targeting major cryptocurrency players. Stolen assets, including Ethereum, Shiba Inu, and others, were laundered through Tornado Cash and decentralized exchanges. Elliptic updated its systems to flag compromised addresses.
