Abracadabra Money Attack Details

In a recent attack on Abracadabra Money, a DeFi platform, the attacker moved 3,000 ETH through Tornado Cash, a mixing service. This incident follows the theft of 6,260 ETH, raising concerns over security.

The entities involved include blockchain analysis firms like AMLBot and Halborn, who provided insights post-exploit. Despite the movement, no direct statements have been made by Abracadabra Inc.’s leadership to clarify future measures.

AMLBot, Blockchain Analytics Firm, – “Once the operation was completed, the 6,260 ETH rubati were transferred from the Arbitrum network to Ethereum through a blockchain bridge.”
