In collaboration with significant cryptocurrency exchanges, the hacked cryptocurrency wallet Atomic Wallet has frozen $2 million in "suspicious deposits."

Atomic Wallet revealed the information to Cointelegraph on October 19, saying that Chainalysis and Crystal, two blockchain intelligence companies, helped the wallet company identify and contain the threat.

According to Atomic Wallet, which cited reports from Chainalysis and Crystal, the "threat actor" used sophisticated techniques, such as mixers and bridges, to connect the funds to the Bitcoin blockchain.

According to the report, “most funds have ultimately ended up on the Tron blockchain and Bitcoin network,”

The report made it clear that the money was transferred to the Tron blockchain first through the Avalanche bridge and then.

The company stated in an announcement:

“Atomic Wallet extends heartfelt gratitude to the centralized cryptocurrency exchanges collaborating promptly to freeze assets linked to reported transactions. Their swift response and cooperation were pivotal in mitigating the impact of the incident that happened to some users."
