ETH (approximately $2.5 million at the current exchange rate) from the Arbitrum network to the Ethereum network. In addition, the transfer of 826,500 DAI to another wallet was noticed.

Representatives of PeckShield were unable to establish the purpose of this transfer of funds by the owner of the wallet. It is noted that over the past few months, the activity of this address has been minimal.

Recall that in November, KyberSwap was the victim of a hacker attack worth more than $ 40 million. Thanks to negotiations with frontrunner bot operators, who withdrew about $5.7 million from cryptocurrency pools, $4.67 million was returned.

Subsequently, the attacker made several demands, including full control over the project, including access to documentation and data related to profits and assets.

Due to the hacking, KyberSwap management had to cut 50% of its employees. In addition, initiatives on the liquidity protocol and the KyberAI project have been temporarily suspended.
