Hacker’s Tether Address Blacklisted with Police and Cyber Support, Stolen Crypto Recovery Progresses

In a collaborative effort involving law enforcement and cyber authorities, a victim who goes by the pseudonym L3yum on X (formerly known as Twitter) has achieved a significant breakthrough following a hack that resulted in the loss of 90 Ether.

The victim has managed to have the perpetrator’s Tether address placed on a blacklist, potentially enabling the recovery of a substantial portion of the stolen funds.

The breach occurred on March 16, when the hacker successfully acquired access to L3yum’s hot wallet seed phrase.

Subsequently, a collection of nonfungible tokens (NFTs) associated with Yuga Labs, as well as cryptocurrencies and NFTs from smaller projects, were pilfered.

These ill-gotten assets were swiftly liquidated or traded by the attacker.

In a recent post on Aug. 11 on X, L3yum conveyed the successful outcome: “Today after working with the police and cyber team in my country, I was able to get the stolen funds sitting in USDT frozen and black listed.”
