Decrypt reports that forensic analysis shows Mercado Bitcoin's hack resulted in $48.6 million being traced across 11 blockchains. This occurred despite the exchange's claim that the breach was contained. Thousands of customer deposit addresses were drained just hours after the exchange announced it had stopped the attack on Monday.
