<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="the-hack">The hack</h2> 
<p>The blockchain data indicates that the perpetrator transferred the stolen funds through multiple wallet addresses. According to a crypto user on the blockchain explorer <a href="https://etherscan.io/address/0x841dDf093f5188989fA1524e7B893de64B421f47#tokentxns" target="_blank" rel="">Etherscan</a>, the perpetrator utilized Curve LlamaLend as the “exit liquidity” for the attack.</p> 
<p>On-chain data shows that one wallet siphoned a collection of tokens, including wrapped ether (WETH), wrapped bitcoin (WBTC) and stablecoins, before trading the majority of it out on Uniswap.</p>
