A wallet compromise victim posted an on-chain message to the address receiving stolen funds, demanding the return of assets taken from compromised wallets and claiming to have preserved transaction records, addresses, and malware evidence. The victim stated that MEXC, a cryptocurrency exchange, has placed a temporary freeze on the account associated with the receiving address.
The message framed the situation as potentially resolvable through direct cooperation, with the attacker given an opportunity to return funds without further escalation. The victim indicated that failure to comply would result in continued pursuit of recovery through the exchange and investigation channels.
No confirmation has been provided regarding whether the attacker will respond, whether MEXC's freeze will lead to asset recovery, or the total value of stolen funds involved in the compromise.
