As reported earlier on CoinGape, the attacker had initially transferred the stolen funds to the California-based Kraken exchange.
And similar to OKX, the Kraken team was swift enough to freeze account access to certain funds stating “we suspect to be associated with fraud, negligence or misconduct related to FTX.”

FTX fijasko
Earlier this month, a hacker gained access to the Bahamas-based mjenjačnica kriptovaluta FTX and stole almost $400 million worth of cryptocurrencies. It’s said to be that the unidentified hacker is currently one of the richest Ethereum holders as only 34 wallets in the Ethereum blockchain hold more digital currency than him.

Sada bankrotirana kripto berza FTX najavila je napad kasnije u toku dana nakon što je preko 130 firmi kripto konglomerata iznenada podnelo zahtev za zaštitu od bankrota.
The move also caused a panic selling in the crypto community that contributed to the already diluting crypto market.
