A Chinese hacker group experiences internal conflict, self-exposes claiming to have stolen approximately 7 million dollars in crypto assets

ChainCatcher reports that, according to market sources, a Chinese hacker group has internal conflicts over profit sharing. Members publicly revealed that they stole approximately $7 million worth of cryptocurrency through supply chain attacks, targeting platforms such as Trust Wallet and others.

According to the disclosures, the group operated under the guise of a cybersecurity company called Wuhan Ansun Technology, claiming to offer services including vulnerability discovery, network attack and defense, and security solutions. However, internally, they engaged in black and gray market activities such as cryptocurrency theft. Members stated they exploited supply chain vulnerabilities in Electron clients, reverse-engineered plugins, and used automation tools to bulk extract mnemonics and scan multi-chain assets, including Ethereum, BNB Chain, and Arbitrum networks.

The whistleblower said the team developed automated tools to scan for mnemonic assets in bulk, used remote control programs to steal wallet data, and then transferred and split the funds. The attacks reportedly involved 37 tokens across multiple blockchain networks. The incident was triggered by internal profit-sharing disputes.

The whistleblower claimed that disagreements over profit distribution with the team leader led to the leak of evidence after unpaid compensation, and they plan to surrender to law enforcement. These allegations have not yet been officially confirmed, and further investigation is needed. Industry experts note that this incident highlights ongoing risks in the security of cryptocurrency wallet supply chains and plugins, as well as targeted attacks on high-value users.
