Зловмисник, який зламав Drift, відправив $109 млн в Ether у Tornado Cash за 2 дні

The wallets associated with the April exploit of Drift Protocol initiated a series of large transfers, including a $46 million transaction on Wednesday. These movements have significantly reduced the balance of the hacker's known addresses, which currently hold roughly $138 million in Ether. The use of Tornado Cash, a decentralized privacy protocol, is a standard tactic for obfuscating the flow of illicit funds on the Ethereum blockchain. This activity follows a period of relative dormancy for the stolen assets, suggesting a renewed effort by the perpetrator to cash out. Market participants often monitor these large-scale movements as they can precede significant sell pressure or regulatory scrutiny. The total amount laundered through this specific series of transactions represents a substantial portion of the original $295 million exploit.
