On January 10, 2026 at around 11 pm UTC a victim lost $282M+ worth of LTC & BTC due to a hardware wallet social engineering scam. The attacker began converting the stolen LTC & BTC to Monero via multiple instant exchanges causing the XMR price to sharply increase. BTC was also bridged to Ethereum, Ripple, & Litecoin via Thorchain. Theft addresses (2.05M LTC, 1459 BTC): bc1qluxw46r55wf3dnk9c652vrt4duadm3hpuktf86 bc1qpsmh26ja0fzzf286zulmt9eywujc2pggj40wzm ltc1qly43c2prj4c2e85dcspzpjd36jnapnenldnr70

@100xChaser @zachxbt I think most cryptos outside of BTC are vibecoded garbage, ZEC is apparently worth 6 billion without a workable desktop wallet.

A AMoneroHodler
Aleksei | Only21M @AMoneroHodler ·

Vibecoded as in they're total trash, like how cardano got taken down, how ETH has had smart contracts that deleted massive amounts of eth, etc. I've been hella Bitcoiner so I've never bothered never touched it and it all just seems so incredibly low quality and the usescases are pointless, just ways to scam the extremely greedy stupid people who come here en masse.
