Decrypt reports that so-called white hat hackers have withdrawn $320 million in Bitcoin from Liquid, according to transaction activity tied to the purported incident.

The outlet says Blockstream and the hackers have been communicating via PGP-signed messages embedded in Bitcoin transactions, indicating an ongoing back-and-forth rather than a single transfer.

Decrypt characterizes the exchanges as direct interaction between the parties using signed messages within the Bitcoin transaction flow, pointing to continued coordination around the funds.
