Suspected Private Key Leak Results in Loss of Approximately US$ 1.1 Million in Various EVM Wallets
According to information released by on-chain investigators, a user suffered a private key leak, which apparently allowed unauthorized access to five wallets on EVM-compatible chains, leading to **abnormal transactions and a total estimated loss of around US$ 1.1 million.
🕵️ The analysis was conducted by blockchain detective ZachXBT, who identified the suspicious pattern of movements and correlated the events in the transaction history.
💰 According to the observed data:
All funds were quickly converted to Ethereum (ETH) shortly after the detection of suspicious activity.
About 330 ETH were sent to a mixing service (mixer) specifically Tornado Cash in order to hinder the tracking of the funds.
🔎 Events like this again highlight the risks associated with the compromise of private keys, especially in non-custodial wallets, where the security of the key is entirely the user's responsibility.
📌 Important: So far, there is no official confirmation from authorities or exchanges directly involved in the investigation, and the exact origin of the key leak has not yet been publicly detailed.
