The intrusion ended with compromise of an engineer's laptop and withdrawals from several wallets. Initially targeted funds were $6.34 billion; $2.85 billion has been frozen or intercepted. The articles give no CVE identifiers or technical indicators, so defenders should review engineer endpoint security and wallet key-management controls.
