Binance Hacking Wallets Receive Sub-$1 Transfers; Requests for Help Also Made

Binance hack-related wallets received sub-$1 dust transfers with attached messages across 19 addresses, according to CoinDesk's on-chain tracking report. The transfers, which began on the 29th of last month, contained help requests, money laundering proposals, and token promotion messages, with one sender repeatedly messaging "Help me bro" three times to each address—though no response from the attacker was recorded. The stolen funds consist of 18,270.2 BTC distributed across the 19 addresses, with 17 addresses holding 1,000 BTC each and the remaining two holding 832.5 BTC and 437.7 BTC respectively. The activity suggests third parties are attempting to contact the hacker, but the dormant funds have not yet moved. Watch for whether the attacker responds or begins consolidating or laundering the stolen BTC, which would signal the next phase of fund movement.
