Roughly $9 million was exposed in the compromised wallets, with about half withdrawn before attackers could take the remaining funds.
A crypto whale was drained of $4.5 million after attackers accessed 13 wallets holding around $9 million in total. About $4.5 million was stolen, while the remaining funds were withdrawn before the attackers could seize them. The episode underscores a recurring risk in digital assets: once wallet access is compromised, users often race to move funds before additional losses occur.
