TechFlame News — According to monitoring by Bitcoin News, Galaxy Research reports that the largest known COLDCARD theft involved 1,159 BTC spread across seven attacker addresses, which remain untouched to date, with 0 BTC cashed out or moved through mixing services. The BTC in question was stolen within 41 minutes, but roughly 600 attacker addresses have already been flagged by law enforcement, exchanges, and blockchain analytics firms. Meanwhile, a smaller-scale attacker appears to have begun laundering funds. On-chain analysts have tracked 64 BTC entering a mixing service, of which only about 10 BTC initially completed the mixing process, with 54 BTC returned as change before being split into outputs of roughly 7 BTC each for further mixing. Analysts note that these unusually large outputs remain easy to trace, making the laundering attempt relatively transparent.
