WhiteArmor Demands $5M Ransom Over Alleged Wagyu.xyz User Data
- —WhiteArmor says it holds 38,628 orders and 10,139 IP addresses from Wagyu.xyz users
- —The group links the records to about $907 million in trading volume, heavily weighted to XMR
- —Ransom is set at $5 million, with a release countdown running into mid-November
- —Wagyu.xyz routes swaps into native Monero via Hyperliquid's order book without KYC
Why it matters: Exposure of IPs, fingerprints and session data would undercut user anonymity at privacy services even when Monero's on-chain protections hold.
