⚠️ Don’t Get Tricked by Fake AMLBot Platforms. If something feels off, it probably is. AMLBot will never contact you first offering recovery services or ask you to send crypto to “verify your wallet.” Always verify the identity of whom you’re talking to, especially if the conversation involves your assets. And when in doubt, reach out to our team through the official website. 🔹Web: https://amlbot.com 🔹Our Verified Telegram Bot: https://t.me/cryptoaml_bot 🔹AMLBot Support: https://t.me/amlbot_support_bot

🌙 Moonwell Lost $1.8M Due To An Oracle Configuration Error cbETH was valued at ~$1.12 instead of ~$2,200. Liquidation bots immediately drained vulnerable positions. We traced the attacker’s funds across Base → CoW → Stargate → Railgun → Bitcoinvn → FixedFloat → Arbitrum Cross-chain routing, privacy layers and exchange endpoints. This was a reminder that oracle logic is infrastructure-level risk. We’re continuing to monitor the addresses involved. Slides with tracing above 👆

🇰🇷South Korean Prosecutors Attempted to Seize Nearly 1,800 BTC Linked to An Illegal Gambling Operation They secured part of it. Another large portion moved during the search. And even the seized funds later left the official wallet — before being returned years after. 👉This case is about: • Shared wallet access during seizure • Exchange-level exposure • Timing gaps in operational control • What happens when custody procedures aren’t airtight Check the slides below for the detailed breakdown. 📍If you work with investigations, compliance, or asset recovery and want to trace flows at this level yourself — explore AMLBot Tracer: https://hubs.li/Q044T5t-0

🇪🇺EU Travel Rule: Identity Data Is Now Part of Every CASP Transfer Under Regulation (EU) 2023/1113, crypto transfers between CASPs in the EU must now include verified originator and beneficiary information. This applies across all Member States and it’s directly enforceable. 👉In this video, we break down: • What the EU hashtag#TravelRule Actually Requires? • Who Qualifies As a hashtag#CASP Under MiCA? • Why This Changes Crypto Operations In Practice 📌Part 2 Is Coming! We'll cover zero thresholds and unhosted wallets. The Detailed Article on EU Crypto Travel Rule: https://hubs.li/Q043QSSQ0

🆕 The Next Step In Crypto Compliance Is Detecting Illicit Intent Transaction monitoring already flags risky transfers in real time. But INTENT rarely appears in a single transaction. ❗Illicit activity is structured: - Split across deposits - Timed to stay below thresholds - Individually acceptable yet collectively suspicious ⚡We added Behavioral Alerts to AMLBot’s KYT Dashboard. This allows for evaluating activity cumulatively across time and risk categories. Instead of manually piecing together transfers, the system automatically detects patterns. Not just detecting risk — detecting intent. START DETECTING INTENT: https://hubs.li/Q045y3WK0

🆕 AMLBot KYT Now Supports Hyperliquid Monitoring Hyperliquid is one of the fastest-growing decentralized trading environments — processing billions in daily trading volume. But there’s an important architectural nuance. Most tools monitor HyperEVM (the application layer). ⚡We indexes HyperCore. the settlement layer where value transfer occurs, and monitors the Arbitrum bridge used to move USDC in and out of the ecosystem. ❗For compliance teams this means visibility into: — Deposits Entering Hyperliquid — Internal Value Transfers — Dithdrawals Back to Arbitrum Request Access to Hypertliquid KYT Monitoring: https://hubs.li/Q045LVXs0

⚡Aperture Finance Exploit: Traced On-chain Two protocols were compromised through unlimited token approvals. Only Aperture Finance publicly acknowledged the issue and initiated on-chain communication with the attacker. ❗On-chain tracing shows ~$13M in stolen assets. About $3M in USDC remains untouched, while other assets were swapped into ETH — with ~540 ETH still sitting at the original address. Funds followed a standard cross-chain laundering path via Relay and Superbridge. We completed full cross-chain tracing, including post-bridge dispersion on Ethereum. These wallets are currently dormant. 👉A second exploiter was identified. One address — originally funded via Tornado Cash, using the same infinite-approval vulnerability hours after the initial exploit. Most funds remain traceable and inactive.

📌A Case Study On Trust Trove Markets entered the market with an ambitious RWA narrative and raised ~$11.5M via ICO. Days before completion, the team abruptly abandoned its original HyperEVM roadmap and announced a migration to Solana. ❗The result was a ~98% price collapse. On-chain data shows ICO funds consolidated under team-controlled wallets, with a portion already moved to centralized exchanges. At the same time, undisclosed influencer promotions, shifting timelines, and anonymous governance amplified market concern. Check the slides for case details 👆

WE ANALYZED 2,500+ REAL CASES FROM POST-INCIDENT CRYPTO INVESTIGATIONS. HERE’S WHAT WE LEARNED 👇🏻 This report is built ENTIRELY on our own investigation practice in 2025 — real cases we handled after the incident had already occurred. We translated this hands-on investigative work into numbers, not to retell how attacks happen, but to answer the harder questions: • what actually happens after the attack is discovered? • which attack types look “minor” by frequency but drive the largest financial damage in practice? • when does freezing actually work, and when is it already too late to matter? • why do many “technical” incidents turn out to be human or operational failures upstream? • why do low-frequency events (CEX Breaches, Access Compromise) dominate total losses despite being rare? 👉 Get Early Access to the Full Report

Why Real-Time Transaction Monitoring Is Now a Must-Have for Crypto Compliance? In crypto, risk never sleeps… More than 50% of risky wallets were identified AFTER their initial compliance screening. AMLBot’s Transaction Monitoring gives you REAL-TIME CONTROL. Not just compliance. ✅ Real-Time Alerts Instantly Notify Compliance Teams When: → A wallet’s Risk Score jumps beyond your custom threshold. → A previously clean address suddenly links with high-risk clusters or sanctioned entities. → Funds are routed through multiple intermediary wallets in minutes. → Structuring behavior appears — small repeated transactions with overall large volume. → Behavioral deviation emerges — abnormal frequency, new counterparties, or unusual routing. All updates appear in your Compliance Dashboard, API, email, or Telegram – wherever your team works. With custom risk thresholds and automatic re-checks, prioritize and act on what truly matters. 👉 Request KYT Demo https://hubs.li/Q03PhHPl0 *If you’re already using AMLBot KYT, reach out to Support and we’ll enable and tailor your Real-Time Alerts.

🚨The Hyperliquid $20M Drain: Multi-Chain Fraud Needs Multi-Chain Tracing On October 10, a trader closed a $16M HYPE long on Hyperliquid. Minutes later, an account takeover turned gains into a full drain — a user-side compromise, not a protocol issue. 📌 AMLBot Tracer, a professional blockchain analytics tool, revealed every transaction in real time and visualized the full flow in real time, with clustering, bridge detection, and entity attribution. ~17.75M DAI were bridged to Ethereum, while ~3.11M MSYRUPUSDP were pulled from a Plasma Syrup Vault and split across multiple addresses to obscure the trail. If tracing flows and identifying entities is part of your job — Tracer is designed for you. 👉 Book AMLBot Tracer Demo: https://hubs.li/Q03Nr9wX0
