According to monitoring by Specter Analyst, a high-net-worth investor holding significant assets on the Kraken and Coinbase trading platforms was subjected to a suspected personal coercion attack, resulting in a total loss of approximately $6.7 million in various assets. The attacker withdrew 1,554 ETH (approximately $3.3 million) from the user's Kraken account and 10.5 BTC.

At the same time, the attacker also breached the defenses of their Coinbase account, withdrawing 34.1 cbBTC. Subsequently, the attacker directly deposited over $5.3 million of the stolen funds into the privacy protocol Tornado Cash to obscure the transaction path.
