32.5 BTC and 1964 ETH stolen in BTC.com attack

Analysts from X-explore found out that the stolen virtual coins were sent to Tornodo Cash and CEX Binance, Kucoin exchanges.

Experts believe that criminals used special schemes to launder money. For example, some of the money was “laundered” through the BTC Mixer anonymization service. It makes it much more difficult to track transfers in the Bitcoin system.
