June 21 (Cointime) - Hackers who stole $35 million worth of cryptocurrency from Atomic Wallet have used the cross-chain liquidity protocol THORChain to cover their on-chain tracks. The hackers transferred 503 Ether to THORChain over the past two days, which was then swapped for Bitcoin and bridged into a Bitcoin address. The stolen ETH was also converted to BTC using the SWFT blockchain. The North Korean hacking group Lazarus has been connected to the theft, and they have used chain-hopping numerous times to conceal funds.
