BlockBeats News, October 14th, Bitrace disclosed that Circle recently took preventive freezing measures on 4 EVM addresses. Intelligence shows that the funds in these addresses were related to a theft incident involving Coinbase, where the attacker made a huge profit by purchasing ETH.
On-chain sleuth ZachXBT commented on this incident, stating, "I can only say, this is probably one of the most useless freeze operations I've ever seen:
· Warning the hacker in advance that they will try to freeze these addresses later
· The frozen addresses hold DAI instead of USDC
· The hacker only needs to transfer the DAI to a new address and then convert it to USDC."
