Unauthorized Transfer/Wallet Hack Report #2575

@Shelly-Lim

Description

@Shelly-Lim

Hello Opentensor Support Team,

I am writing to report an unauthorized transfer of all my TAO assets from my wallet to an unknown address.

On April 6, 2026, around 04:30 AM (UTC), while I was asleep and not using my device, a Balances.transfer_all transaction was executed without my consent.

Transaction Details:

My Wallet Address: 5D7yxxXz9GmCfhNFt4SR9bkFDmvgNd8Yrg6wUet7i2zxM2GP

Target Address (Suspicious): 5F79bJDKnW7rDoF2zaEusqSbBAHmmoyxk6mE84haVcbzFSNz

Amount Stolen: Approximately 6.025 TAO

Transaction Status: Success

Upon investigating the target address 5F79bJDKnW7rDoF2zaEusqSbBAHmmoyxk6mE84haVcbzFSNz on Taostats, I discovered that this address has been systematically collecting TAO from multiple different wallets over the past few weeks. This clearly indicates a malicious actor or a phishing operation.

As of now, the stolen funds are still sitting in the 5F79... address. I am requesting your assistance in:

Blacklisting/Flagging this address on the network or with major exchanges.

Checking if there is any way to freeze these funds or if the foundation is already tracking this specific malicious address.
