What to do
- Crypto exchanges and other virtual asset providers should block transactions involving the wallet addresses the FBI has published.
- Security teams should ensure that a compromised employee device cannot alone authorise withdrawals or transfers.
- Organisations should treat privileged developer and administrative identities as high-value targets and monitor them closely.
