Bitcoin users have begun sending tiny payments carrying messages to wallets linked to the recent Binance hack, turning the attacker’s public addresses into an unusual on-chain message board. Blockchain records show repeated transactions distributing small amounts across the 19 wallets holding stolen BTC. One sender used Bitcoin’s OP_RETURN field to attach the message “Help me bro” while sending micropayments directly to the addresses.
The first two transactions distributed 1,000 satoshis to each targeted wallet, while a later transaction sent 1,111 satoshis per address. OP_RETURN allows short pieces of data to be embedded permanently in a Bitcoin transaction without affecting ownership of the stolen coins. These transfers add small amounts to the hacker-linked balances but do not indicate that the attacker responded or moved the stolen Bitcoin.
The activity highlights how public blockchain addresses can receive unsolicited payments and permanent messages from anyone. The transactions themselves do not establish the senders’ identities or intentions beyond the text embedded on-chain. The main point to watch remains movement from the hacker-controlled wallets, rather than the incoming micropayments , because any outbound transfers would provide more meaningful information for tracking the stolen funds.
