On Tuesday, after hackers returned the stolen funds to the US government, the authorities have transferred those assets to a new wallet. The hackers, who had previously targeted the company Poly Network, had stolen nearly $600 million in cryptocurrency from the platform. However, the hackers returned the stolen assets to Poly Network, which then returned the funds to the US government.
The hackers had transferred 13.19 million aUSDC and 2,408 ETH, worth $6.1 million, to the US government wallet addresses. The move indicates that the hackers may have started sending the funds back to the US government as promised. The US government, which had frozen the funds after they were stolen by the hackers, has transferred the assets to a new wallet.
The move comes in the wake of hackers returning nearly $600 million in cryptocurrency to the US government.
