Moreover, the FTX Drainer Address has received and swapped almost 3.5 billion since November 12. The hackers sent 2.8 billion of various profanity and meme tokens such as FTX Sucks, F*ck FTX, CRO Next, and others to “meme” and famous addresses.
Over $600 million in abnormal transfers were reported by on-chain experts, with some withdrawals being swapped from Tether to DAI and altcoins swapped to Ethereum. FTX Community Chat admin confirmed in the Telegram group saying that FTX has been hacked and FTX apps are malware.
