subtitle: Hacker fails when millions of millions of decentralized stock exchange

The computer engineer Shakeeb Ahmed was recently arrested in the United States after having stolen nine million US dollars from the attack on a decentralized stock exchange (Dex). The authorities were brought on track through his own overwhelming, as can be seen from documents from a New York court. After the hack, Ahmed's Google search requests were clear evidence of his hustle and bustle. Among other things, he wanted to find out how he could protect his stolen money from the authorities without thinking that he may remain undetected.

ahmed searched for terms such as "How can I prevent the government from confiscating my assets?", "Can I cross the national borders with crypto?" Or "Defi-Hacks FBI". He supposedly wanted to check whether his crime was already known. After he had informed himself about the possible consequences, he is said to have made the Dex an offer: he would return the stolen money, but kept $ 1.5 million for the unveiling of the vulnerability.

This incident is reminiscent of the Hack of the Defi platform Mango Markets, in which the attacker promised to return the stolen money when the team discloses of law enforcement. Nevertheless, he could not miss an indictment for goods fraud and manipulation of goods. Ahmed fared. A judge said in the documents that there was no difference whether someone was standing by a bank or decentralized crypto exchange-both were very simple.

Although Ahmed used a VPN (virtual private network) during the attack, he could not blur his traces. The Department of Cyber ​​Crimes of the US tax investigation said in a statement that he was "not up to". However, the arrest of Ahmed is an individual case, since hacks still take place regularly in the Defi sector, in which millions of US dollars are lost and only a few perpetrators are caught. Last year, total damage of $ five billion was recorded. Fortunately, according to a current report, the number of crypto crimes is generally decreasing.
