Parity wallets Hacker extracts 90000 dollars from his millionaire loot in ethers
A millionaire robbery shocked users of the Ethereum protocol a couple of days ago, when a hacker took advantage of a small flaw in the Parity 1.5 tool, based on ethereum, to drain portfolios from the Aeternity, Swarm city and edgeless projects. Now, the first movements of the management were reported with the stolen funds, with the withdrawal of $90000 in ethers (ETH).
According to the registration of the anonymous hacker's address in the blockchain, the amount extracted is 400 eth at the price of $200 per ether, changed by a total of $90000 through the Changelly Exchange House.
However, Changelly stated to realize that the address belonged to the thief when the sum had been withdrawn. Likewise, the Exchange House also pointed out that hackers first mixed the ethers to hinder their tracking. "We suppose that hackers first mixed the coins and then transferred some of the funds to Changelly," they explained.
Despite these methods, the blockchain of Ethereum revealed unusual activity at the time and remains publicly registered, allowing the track of the stolen funds, as explained by the startup.
"Fortunately, the blockchain of ethereum is transparent, so we easily discover and label the addresses of compromised portfolios on a blacklist." "However, in order to protect the fullest of theft funds, other measures need to be taken."

At this time the stolen funds continue to be transferred to other portfolios; A task that hackers have been performing from the moment they extracted the total of 153,000 eth from the parity portfolios on Wednesday. On this occasion, and it is suspected that it will remain thus, the IP address of the server from where the illegal operations are carried out was protected by the Tor network, so it is not possible to trace those responsible.
In the words of the first house of change to perceive the movement of the loot of the hackers of parity, so far, although it is possible to detect the movement in the accounts, at the moment when these are transformed into fiat money they are irretrievable. Portfolio addresses can also be changed. And without an IP address to follow, so far the situation is "a dead-end."

how will that effect eth price, I think it won't make big downfall in eth, since amount is not very big compared to total market cap and supply.
Friend in that you have all the reason will not go down more eth will recover and will rise but I have faith
