The project furthered that no concrete evidence links the phishing operators to the original hacker.<\/p>\n<p>Nonetheless, wallet addresses tied to the phishing site have been added to ongoing fund-tracing efforts.<\/p>\n<p>The team also noted increased activity from wallets associated with the hacker.
