Stolen funds represent digital assets that have been unlawfully acquired from their rightful owners. This typically occurs through unauthorized access, exploitation of security weaknesses, or fraudulent activities. The recovery and tracing of stolen digital assets present considerable challenges within the blockchain ecosystem.
