They found that the root creator address also made a gnosis safe wallet tx at gnosisSafe and ethereum. Moreover, that same address had interactions with two eth ENS addresses, i.e., bitboyjay.eth and microbeat.eth.
Brinc Finance has located the attacker’s wallet at etherscan and has flagged it as “Heist.” No one on the team owns it. They are working with their technical advisors to look into the matter and reached out to the hacker to return funds. They have notified every CEX they can think of.
