The Blockchain Bandit hacker, who stole 51,000 ethers, transferred the funds from 10 wallets to a multi-signature wallet on December 30, 2023, after nearly two years of inactivity. The majority of the funds were obtained by guessing weak private keys using the "Ethercombing" method. These thefts started in 2016, with the largest ones occurring in 2018. The identity of the hacker is unknown, but it is suspected that a state actor, such as North Korea, may be behind this.
