Ethereum Tokens Swiped, Returned After South Korean Tax Service Publishes Wallet Seed Phrases

In brief

• The South Korean National Tax Service (NTS) shared seed phrases from seized crypto wallets in a press release.
• The contents of the wallets—valued around $4.8 million at face value—were then swiped, but returned.
• The token was highly illiquid, and the perpetrator would not have been able to get anywhere near the face value.
