HACK OR EXPLOITCrypto Scam: On-Chain DataTracks More Stolen FundsMoving Into Zcash51IMPORTANCEQUIET2NEWS MEDIA2PIECESOct 17, 2026 17:54blockboard.net

On-chain tracking linked stolen funds to transfers into Zcash, and the ZEC price was reported down 3.7% at the same time. Bitget also announced one-time account closures for some customers after losses tied to the incident were put at $387.5 million across 11 blockchains.

What this rests on

Claim by claim, with its source
✓
On-chain data tracked stolen funds moving into Zcash as the ZEC price fell 3.7%.
✓
SlowMist and Mandiant confirmed Bitget losses totaling $387.5 million across 11 blockchains.
✓
The headline says hackers were moving stolen funds to Zcash and does not say Zcash itself was hacked.

What it means

Who it affects, what changes and what is still unconfirmed

Each sentence links inside to the piece that supports it.

Users and customers notice that the dispute has moved from a general theft report to account-level action at Bitget, with one-time closures named for some customers. Market participants who watch ZEC also see the token referenced alongside a 3.7% fall, so the event is visible both in exchange operations and in the asset’s trading context.

Before this, the reported movement was simply stolen funds entering Zcash; now Bitget has publicly named one-time account closures for some customers. What stays the same is that the report still centers on funds moving on-chain across multiple blockchains, not on a change to Zcash itself.
