Devoxx: Tornado Cash, the World's Biggest Cyber Crimes and Modern Privacy by James Birnie

Axie Infinity grew from a fun Ethereum-powered game into a full-blown, real-money economy—until the Sky Mavis hack pulled off what’s been called the biggest crypto heist ever. The talk breaks down the “kill chain” that made the robbery possible and how the attackers slipped away with billions in digital assets.

But the story doesn’t stop at the heist.

The key takeaways? Watch your back in the blockchain world—and learn how real crimes meet virtual tech.
