Huo Mars report: On October 9, according to PeckShield monitoring, the attacker who compromised the 79AU operational hot wallet, 79thVault, has returned 15,000 BNB—valued at approximately $11 million—to the wallet address designated by the project team. Additionally, the attacker previously deposited 30 BNB into KuCoin. The current status of the remaining funds is unclear. Previously, the 79thVault hot wallet on BNB Chain suffered an estimated $12.5 million loss due to a private key compromise. The team’s operational hot wallet typically only makes small transfers to reward pools. However, in recent days, this address transferred 2.01 million 79AU tokens to external addresses in seven separate transactions of 10,000, 100,000, 100,000, 300,000, 500,000, 500,000, and 500,000 tokens respectively.
