Multiple reports say hackers are targeting what is described as Bitcoin’s “safest hiding place” by draining funds from a large number of wallets. Business Line and Moneyweb both report that roughly 1,367 bitcoin have been taken, with the value estimated at about $86 million. The withdrawals are reported to have come from more than 4,500 wallets, indicating the activity is spread across a wide set of addresses rather than a single or small number of holdings.
The reports describe the incident as an ongoing attack, suggesting that the totals cited reflect the amount already drained rather than a final count. While the coverage highlights the scale of the bitcoin movement and the number of affected wallets, it does not provide additional detail in the excerpts about the specific method used, the identity of the compromised service or custodian, or whether any security measures are being deployed in response. The common thread across sources is that approximately 1,367 BTC (about $86 million) has been moved out of thousands of wallets as part of an active intrusion.
