Polkadot's parent company, Parity, fell victim to a security vulnerability in 2017 that resulted in the theft of 150,000 ETH.
Today, the hacker initiated the laundering process by transferring 3,050 ETH through the eXch platform, a move worth approximately $9 million.
This development underscores the ongoing repercussions of cybersecurity breaches across the cryptocurrency ecosystem as stolen funds are actively laundered through various channels.
