Amber Group: The team has successfully replicated the attack method used in the $160 million theft case of Wintermute

Chain Catcher news, the crypto financial service platform Amber Group tweeted that its team has successfully replicated the hacking technique used in the $160 million theft case of Wintermute. They can now reproduce the private key in less than 48 hours using a MacBook with an M1 processor and 16GB of memory. A complete article with relevant details will be published in the coming days.

Chain Catcher previously reported that Wintermute founder Evgeny Gaevoy tweeted on September 20 that Wintermute lost $160 million in a DeFi hacking attack, but its CeFi and OTC businesses are currently unaffected. The SlowMist security team analyzed that the reason for the theft may be that the stolen EOA wallet of Wintermute was created using Profanity to generate a vanity address (starting with 0x0000000).
