Part 3/7:
This security breach represents one of the largest hacks in cryptocurrency history. The hacker now possesses more Ethereum than Vitalik Buterin, co-founder of Ethereum, making them the 14th largest Ethereum holder globally. This illicit operation has left a considerable mark on the cryptocurrency ecosystem, comprising about 16% of all previous crypto hacks. In comparison, other notable hack incidents, such as the Ronin and the Binance bridge hacks, paled in scale, hovering around the $600 million mark.
