It was something far more insidious. Hackers didn’t steal funds outright; they stepped into the shadows between sender and receiver, manipulating transactions in real time. Like a puppet master pulling invisible strings, they intercepted payments, swapped wallet addresses, and redirected millions in crypto to their own accounts without triggering alarms. By the time users realized what had happened, the funds had disappeared into the depths of blockchain anonymity. But how did hackers pull it off? And more importantly, could it happen again?
