Anonymous hackers stole $20 million in crypto assets from U.S. government wallets and, according to Arkham Intelligence, have already started laundering the funds through suspicious addresses.

These assets are part of the $3.6 billion previously seized after the Bitfinex hack. Cryptocurrency researcher ZachXBT noted that the stolen funds, including USDC, USDT, aUSDC, and ETH, were promptly transferred to instant exchanges for quick monetization.

The U.S. is one of the largest holders of crypto assets due to frequent confiscations. The hackers' ability to penetrate government security systems and launder assets is cause for concern.
