DESCRIPTION OF EVENTS

"Join the No.1 Crypto Poker Site and Receive up to $2,000 Welcome Bonus! Instant withdrawals to your crypto wallet. 150% welcome bonus + 33% rakeback. Customer funds secure & visible on-chain"
"The attack spanned across multiple blockchain networks, including BNB Chain, Ethereum, and Polygon networks."
"Hey everyone! Just a quick heads-up: our withdrawal feature is taking a little break for some maintenance. We’re on it and expect to have it back up and running soon! Depositing remains available. Thanks for your understanding and patience!"
"Good news all, Withdrawals are working again! Happy Friday :)"
"ALERT! Our system recently flagged multiple hack transactions involving @CoinPoker_OFF across the #Bnb, #Ethereum, and #Polygon chains. It appears that an unauthorized address gained control of CoinPoker's hot wallet. The attacker transferred around $2M $USDT, swapped it into native currencies on various chains, and then funneled the funds through @TornadoCash. The transaction patterns suggest that CoinPoker's hot wallet has utilized a custodian service with a specific policy in place!"
"To the individual responsible for the recent exploit: We are aware of the activity involving funds stolen from the wallet address 0x3c1727C283370e476a63768C7cAb843B8bd63130. This message is from CoinPoker to confirm its authenticity. We seek to establish secure communication to address this matter constructively. If you are open to a resolution, please respond via email to incident.response@coinpoker.com We are willing to discuss terms, including a potential bounty, for the safe return of the funds."
"Later, [the attacker] funneled through Tornado Cash to obscure the trail and to launder the funds."
CoinPoker is an online poker/gambling site where players can play Poker against one another. On November 7th, a large withdrawal occurred from their hot wallet. The system was brought offline the next day, and they sent the hacker an on-chain message roughly a week later. In response, it appears that the hacker decided to move the funds through TornadoCash.
