Use a case study from this year to highlight the flow of stolen funds we see for each of these threat actors
- Including DPRK $292M KelpDAO exploit where stolen assets were distributed across 6,293 individual addresses over a three-month period.
- Compare to DPRK Drift exploit (different subgroup)
Include unique data points like how long does DPRK keep funds in their initial wallets? How quickly do drainers move their funds? What are the key obfuscation tactics that the COM use to evade compliance tools?
- Use of Wasabi mixing and cross-chain bridging evade autotracing
- Show how launderers will change their paths within minutes to try and outwit freezing
Use real examples from zeroShadow Threat Intelligence tool to highlight how it works and where it actually disrupts money laundering at speed
- How protocols can implement free threat intelligence data to eliminate traditional compliance budget barriers
- Paired with delayed transaction reverts, force launderers off networks.
