A hacker behind the $26 million TLBL theft spent 3.4 million Dai to purchase 1,650 Ether just hours before a November 11 security update.
The purchase occurred approximately three months after TLBL's private key was leaked, which compromised two wallets and resulted in losses exceeding $26 million. This activity demonstrates how quickly stolen funds can be moved or converted in the cryptocurrency ecosystem.
