    Grinex blames Western intelligence agencies for theft

    Attribution Update

    Grinex said a large-scale cyber-attack by foreign intelligence agencies forced it to suspend operations after one billion rubles ($13.2m) was stolen from Russian customers, and the exchange filed a criminal complaint and shared the destination crypto address with law enforcers. Chainalysis disputed the attribution, saying the exfiltrated funds were quickly swapped via a Tron-based decentralized exchange (DEX) into TRX, a pattern more consistent with criminal laundering or a possible false flag than a state-backed raid.
