A hacker associated with the recent Bybit exchange breach is reportedly laundering stolen funds through meme tokens. The hacker transferred 60 SOL to launch a token named QinShihuang, which has generated trading volumes exceeding $27 million. Reports indicate that the attacker moved approximately $1.08 million to the Solana blockchain before distributing the funds across multiple wallets. The laundering operation appears to involve the use of the Pump Fun platform for issuing these meme tokens, with the QinShihuang token being a key focus of the investigation.
