According to on-chain detective ZachXBT, the $330 million Bitcoin transfer event that previously caused Monero (XMR) prices to surge by 50% on April 28 has been confirmed as a social engineering theft case targeting an elderly person in the United States. The attacker used social engineering techniques to gain access to the victim's wallet, transferring 3,520 BTC (worth $330.7 million). The stolen funds were quickly laundered through more than six instant trading platforms and exchanged into the privacy coin XMR, leading to the surge in XMR prices.
