A serious wallet security incident has recently been detected. A hacker successfully breached the defenses of a multi-signature wallet and quickly stole $27.3 million worth of assets.

In terms of fund flow, the hacker's operations are quite cautious. They withdrew 1,000 ETH from Aave, equivalent to approximately $3.24 million. This money was then sent to a mixer for laundering—so far, the hacker has deposited 6,300 ETH into the mixer, worth about $19.4 million. It’s clear that this individual is trying to make the source of the funds as confusing as possible.

What’s even more concerning is that the hacker currently holds significant market positions. They have established a leveraged long position worth $9.75 million, with a configuration of going long $20.5 million worth of ETH and short $10.7 million worth of DAI. This betting pattern is quite interesting—laundering money on one side while positioning in the market on the other. Such behavior is rare in hacking incidents and also reveals potential chain reactions in the future.

It's another multi-signature wallet failure. Does this guy still dare to make a scene in the market? --- 2730 million USD gone just like that. Truly impressed by these hackers' audacity. --- Money laundering while leveraging. Is this a challenge to market regulation? --- The mixer can't even hold this much dirty money anymore. The competition is fierce. --- If multi-signature can be broken, is my small wallet still safe... --- This operational style is indeed rare. Seems like there's a story behind it. --- Long ETH and short DAI. This betting logic is quite interesting. --- Aave's large amount was directly withdrawn. Is there an insider? --- Chain risk is coming. Are we heading into a bear market again? --- This technique is indeed professional. Even multi-signature can be breached.

Another big deal worth 27.3 million has come up. This guy still dares to jump around in the spot market. Isn't he afraid of on-chain detectives?

This hacker is really outrageous, still daring to open leveraged positions in the market, not afraid of exposure? --- Money laundering and simultaneously going long and short, this style of operation is a bit reckless... --- 27.3 million just gone like that, even multi-signature wallets can't stop it. I need to check my vault. --- Mixing coins while adjusting positions, is this guy trying to play the market at the same time or just looking for death? --- Going long ETH worth 20.5 million and then short DAI, what kind of trick is this... there must be a problem later. --- These hacker incidents are becoming more and more outrageous, no longer rushing to run away like before. --- 6,300 ETH into the mixer, this pace... feels like there will be a chain reaction of explosions later. --- Multi-signature has been broken, I really don't know which wallet solution to trust now. --- The most outrageous thing is still daring to build positions in the market, are you sure you're not being tracked? --- This operational logic is a bit strange, normal hackers wouldn't be so flamboyant, right?

Damn, multi-signature can be broken too? This guy is about to mess up the entire market. Be careful with ETH, this brother might dump the next step. Money laundering while going long, outrageous, I've never seen such an operation. If multi-signature is compromised, we're all unsafe... 27.3 million USD just gone like that, who designed this wallet's defense line? This damn leveraged long position is still hanging on, waiting for a liquidation?

Wait a minute, this guy is laundering money while still using leverage? He's playing with fire; he's going to get liquidated sooner or later.

Wow, this hacker is quite skilled, laundering money while leveraging to go long? Are they planning to turn the market upside down? It's really outrageous, multi-signature can be broken? I need to check my own wallet quickly. This method of operation is indeed rare, but on the other hand, it's too blatant, feels a bit suspicious. Moving 6300 ETH openly and transparently? Don't exchanges check? 27.3 million just gone like that, everyone has their own expertise.

27.3 million lost, this is getting interesting now --- Multi-signature wallet also breached? Better check your wallets quickly --- Money laundering while opening leveraged positions, this hacker is really ruthless --- Mixing 6,300 ETH? This is obviously trying to attract attention --- Daring to directly withdraw 1,000 ETH from Aave, how confident must they be --- Short DAI and long ETH, what are they betting on --- Chain risk? What kind of risk is that, everyone --- $9.75 million leveraged position, still stolen funds, who can withstand this --- The hacker's tactics, it seems there are more tricks up their sleeve --- Multi-signature wallets are broken, is there anything still safe

27.3 million USD? This guy's guts are really incredible, can multi-signature even break through? Money laundering while leveraging, isn't that asking for death? Someone's definitely watching. Mixer with 6,300 ETH, that must be pretty guilty, haha. Betting ETH against DAI is a bit showy, but it doesn't seem to go far. This wave will cause another round of on-chain chaos, gotta be careful.
