Coinfomania reports whale TLBL lost over $50 million in a compromised-key breach, while Crypto Economy reports the breach itself drained about $26 million, with $50.3 million being the combined total including a prior 2024 phishing loss.
What all sources agree on
- A whale known as TLBL suffered a loss due to a compromised private key.
- TLBL had previously lost $24 million in a phishing attack in 2024.
- The recent theft involved assets drained across three wallets.
- The incident was reported via blockchain analytics platform Lookonchain.
Where the reports disagree
1Size of the loss attributed to the recent private-key compromise
The whale TLBL lost over $50 million due to a compromised private key.
A private key compromise hack stole more than $26M from three wallets linked to whale TLBL, who had already lost $24M in 2024.
What would settle it: On-chain transaction records for the three drained wallets, or Lookonchain's original tracking data.
2Whether the $50M figure represents the recent breach alone or a combined total of two incidents
Whale TLBL has reportedly lost over $50 million in a security breach involving compromised private keys, according to a tweet by @lookonchain.
The combined total of both losses amounts to approximately $50.3 million, according to tracking conducted by Lookonchain.
What would settle it: Lookonchain's original tweet and accompanying on-chain data breaking down the two incidents separately.
What to make of it
Treat the underlying event—a private-key compromise affecting whale TLBL following an earlier $24 million phishing loss—as established, but the size of the newest loss, and whether the widely cited $50M figure refers to that loss alone or to the two incidents combined, remains unresolved.
