The attack<\/a><\/strong>, which targeted a public wallet on his phone, took place within an 11-minute window while Yan was away from his device. The stolen funds, including ETH, USDT<\/a><\/strong>, WETH, and MASK, were quickly moved to multiple addresses, converted to Ethereum<\/a><\/strong>, and redistributed.<\/p>\n Yan, who was celebrating his birthday at the time, suspects a possible private key leak but has not ruled out an offline attack. He has enlisted security experts from SlowMist and ZachXBT to track the stolen assets and is working with law enforcement to investigate the breach.<\/p>\n Unlike recent high-profile hacks, such as the Bybit incident, Yan believes this was not caused by malicious code but rather a breach of trust.<\/p>\n
