On September 24, 2025 addresses linked to SBI Crypto saw ~$21M in suspicious outflows on Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, Doge, & Bitcoin Cash.

The stolen funds were transferred to five instant exchanges and deposited to Tornado Cash. Interestingly several indicators share similiarities to other known DPRK attacks.

SBI Crypto is a mining pool that's a subsidiary of SBI Group, a publicly traded company in Japan.

As of now it does not appear they have publicly disclosed the incident.

The threat actor who stole $300M+ from Coinbase users by paying customer support just began trolling me onchain with this message after swapping $42.5M+ from BTC -> ETH via Thorchain today. Transaction hash 0x18c909a8438d94e88a434521ee9fc143c8777452fbecb…
Threat actor from the Coinbase breach swapped ~5M DAI for ~5M USDC that was sitting as USDC for 35 minutes.

Due to Circle not being compliant the funds were just bridged away.

A portion was bridged using the official Circle CCTP bridge.

Community alert: If your favorite influencer promotes any of these offshore centralized exchanges block them immediately as your funds are not safe:

KCEX, Toobit, Bitunix, WEEX, Jucoin (Ju)

Promoting sketchy bucket shops means they are not actually profitable traders and instead make their money from KOL deals, ref links, etc.

They all lack basic transparency around operations and the team that a regulated tier 1 exchange like Kraken or Bybit would have.

Garden Finance was likely exploited for $10.8M+ on multiple chains.

An address related to the team sent a message onchain to the alleged exploiter offering a 10% whitehat bounty but has yet to comment publicly on the incident. All freezeable assets were quickly swapped.

Please stop sending me DMs on X asking to help get your funds unfrozen.

Choosing to trade on a sketchy bucket shop exchange is a personal choice and legitimate cases can be difficult for me to verify the authenticity of.

Also lots of people have ulterior motives and are dishonest about their source of funds.

EX: This person asked for help claiming they were innocent while promoting an online Chinese illicit market place that includes hitmen services, stolen government IDs, etc.

The attacker deposited 1140 BNB ($1.04M) to Tornado on BSC and bridged funds to Ethereum where another 346.8 ETH ($1.05M) was deposited to Tornado.

My new post sharing an investigation on a $243M theft from last month which lead to multiple arrests and $9M+ frozen https://x.com/zachxbt/status/1836752923830702392?
The British threat actor Danny / Meech aka Danish Zulfiqar (Khan) appears to have likely been arrested by law enforcement and had crypto assets seized.

$18.58M currently sits at
0xb37d617716e46511E56FE07b885fBdD70119f768

I previously was monitoring and had identified him for his involvement in the $243M Genesis Creditor theft from August 2024 with Malone, Veer, Chen, & Jeandiel.

Danny was also involved in the Kroll SIM Swap from Aug 2023 that compromised the PII of BlockFi, Genesis, & FTX creditors that has since lead to $300M+ stolen via targeted social engineering scams.

Several hours ago multiple addresses tied to him I was tracking consolidated funds to 0xb37d in a similar pattern to other law enforcement seizures.

Danny was last known to be in Dubai. It’s alleged a villa was raided and others there were arrested as well.

Several sources say they have been unresponsive to messages for the past couple days.

Sorry for the spam I’ll continue to edit this message to avoid flooding the TG channel with notifications.
