ZachXBT reported that approximately $7 million of the $330 million in BTC stolen from a U.S.-based OG Bitcoiner earlier this week has been frozen with help from Binance’s security team and other investigators. The theft was attributed to a social engineering attack.

After being transferred to a specific address, the Bitcoin was quickly exchanged for Monero (XMR) through multiple exchanges, causing the XMR price to surge by 50%. > x.com/zachxbt/status…
