When hackers start using privacy networks to move stolen funds, Crypto faces a tough question. At the end of September, ZachXBT revealed that the Bitget attacker transferred about 2,700 ZEC (worth approximately $3.8 million at the time) into Zcash's privacy pool. On October 17, on-chain researcher Specter pointed out that funds involved in the CryptoBilis Ledger supply chain attack and the $12 million Triple-A theft case were also found flowing into ZEC. The exact scale is still under verification. Previously, stolen funds related to Bitget were also swapped cross-chain via THORChain. Bitget requested to block the relevant addresses, but THORChain refused selective blocking. This raises a very real question: Privacy is a legitimate need for ordinary people, and decentralization means no one can arbitrarily freeze your assets. But the same technology can also become a tool for hackers to move stolen funds. If we give protocols the ability to intercept criminal funds, who decides which addresses should be frozen? And how do we prevent this power from being abused? Between privacy rights, decentralization, and tracking criminal funds, where do you think the boundaries should lie? What’s your take? #Crypto #Privacy #Decentralization
