Cryptocurrency security expert Justin Kalland said on X the Binance hacker may have made a mistake while using MetaMask’s Gas Station, potentially leaving traceable clues if MetaMask preserved its Web2 logs.
Kalland said the hacker sent 175 million USDT to a new wallet, deposited an additional 2 ETH into that wallet about two minutes and 30 seconds later, and then used MetaMask’s Gas Station. Kalland noted the wallet already held enough ETH to cover gas fees, yet more ETH was added through Gas Station anyway. He said three transactions were later included in the same block, including an unlimited USDT approval for the Kyber Network (KNC) router.
He added the hacker may have accidentally selected USDT as the payment method for gas while rushing to complete the transactions, and MetaMask’s off-chain logs may contain metadata such as the hacker’s IP address.
