The on-chain data analysis team recently made an interesting discovery: they tracked encrypted assets on the blockchain that were stolen during the famous password management tool vulnerability incident in 2022. The key point is that the flow of these funds revealed a clear chain of evidence—pointing to a Russian cybercrime organization involved in money laundering.

We all know hackers like to use mixing tools like CoinJoin to hide their identities, but this time, analysts used de-mixing techniques and continuity analysis of fund behavior to piece together the flow of funds, confirming that they all originated from the same attackers. Ultimately, this money flowed into a high-risk exchange.

What does this tell us? Although on-chain data appears anonymous, once someone truly puts in the effort to track, the clues in the funds can still be uncovered. This is a good case for anti-money laundering efforts and hacking investigations.

Uh, I just want to say, CoinJoin isn't that万能 either Mixing coins also can't escape the追踪by experts, on-chain is eternal Damn, this追踪能力is a bit outrageous, Russian hackers will also fall Privacy coins are the way to go, right? Mixing coins have long been破解套路 Really didn't expect to追踪so clearly, this exchange is doomed So on-chain isn't actually that匿名, I was wrong before CoinJoin: I'm just a摆设 Hacker says: It's not that I'm too bad, it's that the分析员are too猛 The exchange has fallen, this time it's really石锤 This is what blockchain should do, anti-money laundering relies on this trick

Look, mixing coins is pointless; it was still uncovered by someone. This is the true value of on-chain detectives—solving cases indeed. No matter how advanced the coin mixing tools are, they can't escape detailed analysis. Interesting. Hackers should be worried; there is no absolute anonymity. This tracking ability is really powerful. Anti-money laundering teams have upgraded again.

Haha, now hackers must be panicking, thinking CoinJoin can save them, but it still got exposed. --- On the blockchain, there's no hiding at all. As long as you spend time tracking, everything can be uncovered. What a joke about anonymity. --- Again, it's Russia and money laundering. It seems like these cases are increasing more and more. --- Honestly, mixing tools don't seem that mysterious anymore. The key still depends on the analyst's skills. --- Finally, someone explained the story behind this money. I've been curious about where it went all along. --- So, on-chain analysis is really valuable. Being able to trace crimes of this scale is truly impressive. --- I just want to know why that high-risk exchange hasn't been investigated yet. Is it intentional or what? --- This is the real purpose of blockchain—preventing money laundering is more important than anything. --- It looks anonymous but is actually transparent to death. This paradox is really funny. --- The hackers have now been caught in a sheep-stealing scheme. Is de-mixing technology that powerful?

Haha, mixing coins can't save you either; there are truly no secrets on the blockchain. --- That's why I never believe in complete anonymity; eventually, you'll be tracked down. --- Wow, is the de-mixing technology this powerful? Those hackers are really unlucky. --- What does this mean? Money still has to flow out eventually, and once it moves, it gets exposed. --- I was just saying CoinJoin isn't万能; everyone has their own expertise. --- Blockchain transparency is one thing, but it depends on whether someone really puts in the effort to analyze. --- These analysts are indeed strong; they can infer everything if they spend the time. --- That group in Russia isn't that great either; they can be easily uncovered. --- High-risk exchanges still dare to accept such orders; trouble is bound to happen sooner or later.

Haha, even CoinJoin can't stop people, eventually it still leaks out --- On-chain really isn't as anonymous as you think; a careful investigation reveals all --- This is proper on-chain detective work, much better than those junk analysis reports --- The group in Russia finally got caught with evidence, about time --- De-mixing technology is really impressive, mixing tools are useless --- The key is that someone has to put in the effort; otherwise, hackers would have disappeared long ago --- High-risk exchanges accepting this dirty money will eventually all go down together --- So don't believe too much in complete anonymity; details always speak for themselves --- The 2022 case still feels not thoroughly resolved; this time, there's finally a lead --- I just want to know why that exchange didn't do proper KYC, that’s so low-level
