A staggering ~23.8K <a href="https://blockchainreporter.net/ethereum-price/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">ETH (Ethereum)</a> and a hefty 935.3K USDC (USD Coin) have been identified among its holdings.

This move adds another layer of complexity to the already confounding situation, leading to many questions surrounding the motives and individuals behind the transfers.<h2 id="header-0">Attacks on the rise</h2>Recently, PeckShield’s community contributor exposed another breach on Magnate Finance.

This maneuver highlights the scammer’s audacity and adaptability as they seek to exploit alternative avenues for their fraudulent proceeds.The cryptocurrency community remains on high alert as illicit activities within the digital finance realm persist. As the investigation unfolds, the revelation underscores the critical need for enhanced security measures and collaboration to safeguard the integrity of the cryptocurrency landscape.
