Hacker Moves $600K in Stolen AVAX Tokens

The hacker behind the Phemex cryptocurrency exchange attack has moved 24,000 AVAX tokens, valued at around $600,000, to a new address, according to PeckShield's monitoring. This latest development comes after PeckShield reported in January that the hacker had stolen approximately $69.1 million worth of encrypted assets from Phemex, involving multiple chains and tokens.

The hacker's recent transaction suggests that they are still active and potentially planning further moves with the stolen assets. The cryptocurrency community and security experts are closely monitoring the situation to prevent any further losses and to track the hacker's activities.

The Phemex hack is just one of many high-profile incidents in the cryptocurrency world, highlighting the need for enhanced security measures and vigilance among exchanges and investors. As the cryptocurrency market continues to grow, so does the risk of hacking and theft, making it crucial for all parties involved to stay informed and proactive in protecting their assets.
