According to Cryptoglobe on July 17, blockchain intelligence startup Whitestream is the "1Ai5" legacy of Bitcoin by hackers who previously worked with Coinbase and BitPay, two cryptocurrencies that provide trading solutions. At the time of reporting, 14.75 bitcoins leaked to hackers were sent to 1Ai5 bitcoin addresses, which had previously completed three trades with Coinbase and BitPay. The first and largest was in May 2020, when 1.2 BTC was shipped to the BitPay address. The other two cases are small businesses linked to Coinbase. References to Coinbase are difficult to follow because the address changes for each article. The hacker's identity can now be revealed by interfering with these companies, but investigation can be difficult if the exchange is sent to merchants who accept the company's encryption. . Security experts warn that hacks of Twitter accounts could cover "other malicious acts". For example, if a hacker steals a Twitter user's information, that information can be sold on a dark website.
