TREE NEWS reports: The attacker behind the Bloom exploit, which drained nearly $1 million, routed funds through 2,152 distinct intermediary and destination addresses, Specter said. The set comprises 1,326 Solana addresses, 822 EVM addresses and 5 Zcash addresses. Funds were bridged to Zcash, with 26.099 ZEC moved into the Sapling shielded pool, a pattern Specter said points to automated splitting, consolidation and cross-chain tooling.
Bloom Attacker Moved Funds Through 2,152 Addresses, Including Zcash Privacy Pool
The scale of the address sprawl — thousands of intermediaries across Solana, EVM chains and Zcash — suggests the laundering playbook is now routine rather than bespoke, which matters more for tracing firms and exchanges than for the stolen sum itself. The Zcash shielded-pool leg is the notable wrinkle: privacy assets remain a favored exit ramp despite the compliance attention they draw. Whether cross-chain privacy hops like this become standard in smaller exploits, and how quickly analytics teams adapt, is the open question.
