Specter links stolen funds from three incidents to Zcash shielded pool
Image: Crypto.newsBlockchain investigator Specter reported that funds linked to three security incidents entered a Zcash shielded pool. The incidents involve Bitget, Cryptobills Ledger and a $12 million Triple-A exploit. Specter's findings follow earlier tracing by ZachXBT, who tracked ZEC from the Bitget breach into Ironwood, the shielded pool Zcash activated in July 2026. Zcash lets users shield transactions, which limits public tracing once funds enter a shielded pool.
Key points
- Specter linked stolen funds from Bitget, Cryptobills Ledger and Triple-A to Zcash transactions.
- ZachXBT earlier traced funds from the Bitget breach into Zcash's Ironwood shielded pool.
- Zcash privacy is optional, and funds inside shielded pools are not publicly traceable.
What's unclear
Specter has not published a complete accounting of the funds tied to the Cryptobills Ledger and Triple-A transfers.
