A Chinese hacker group exposed itself due to an internal dispute over the division of stolen funds, having stolen approximately 7 million USD in cryptocurrency assets.

Gate News reports that on March 17, the “Cyber Investigation Research Institute” public account disclosed that a Chinese hacker group experienced internal conflict over profit sharing. Members publicly revealed that they had stolen approximately $7 million worth of cryptocurrency through supply chain attacks, targeting platforms such as Trust Wallet and other crypto wallets.

According to the disclosures, the group operated under the guise of a cybersecurity company called “Wuhan Ansun Technology,” claiming to offer services including vulnerability hunting, network attack and defense, and security solutions. However, they were actually engaged in illegal activities such as stealing crypto assets. The team used supply chain vulnerabilities in Electron clients, plugin reverse engineering, and automation tools to mass extract seed phrases and scan multi-chain assets across networks like Ethereum, BNB Chain, and Arbitrum.

The whistleblower revealed that the team developed automated tools to scan seed phrase assets in bulk and used remote control programs to steal wallet data. They then transferred and split the funds. The attacks involved 37 tokens across multiple blockchain networks.

This exposure stems from internal profit-sharing disputes. The whistleblower stated that conflicts arose with the team leader over unfair distribution of earnings. After unpaid severance, they publicly released evidence and plan to surrender to law enforcement. Official confirmation of these allegations has not yet been provided, and further investigation is ongoing.
