Happen to have a link to this?

Yup:

the database server was compromised.

Or were you asking about the "mass leak" message?

found something strange while following the stolen coins.  Sent from the thief to many small accounts and one large one.

Why would they split it up like that?  are they trying to hide it by making it whole bunch of small transfers?


He's just fucking with you. The 8 digit remainder is binary. Convert the first 7 to ascii and you get "expect ".

Edit: the whole 21 characters spell "expect mass leak soon".

Edit 2: and given the first three characters of the address are EML, it might have been a vanity account.
