They also confirmed that an on-chain message has been sent to address 0x9cf71F2ff126B9743319B60d2D873F0E508810dc on Ethereum in an attempt to negotiate with the attacker. Blockchain data reveals that a number of large inflows came into this address on the Avalanche chain, beginning at 4:41 p.m. UTC.
