Mask Network founder Suji Yan reports $4 million crypto theft on his birthday

Mask Network’s CEO, Suji Yan, recently lost over $4 million in one of his public wallets. According to Yan in an X post, the hacking happened shortly after he celebrated his 29th birthday. “I was in a private gathering with dozen friends and my phone was away for some minutes when I using the restroom etc.,” he stated. Yan said that this attack stemmed from a private key loss or an offline attack. These transactions that were performed manually within the period of 11 minutes prove that the attacker’s possession of the private key was direct. ” I trust my friends, but this is a nightmare to anyone,” Yan stated. Cyvers Alerts and ZachXBT, two blockchain analytics companies, were able to trace some of the stolen coins as ETH and WETH, MASK, and USDT. These were then transferred to another wallet and shortly increased to approximately 1,690 ETH and were divided into six distinct addresses. 🚨ALERT🚨Our AI-powered system has detected suspicious transactions linked to @suji_yan , founder of @realMaskNetwork !
