According to Odaily, a CRV/ETH attacker has reportedly laundered 1500 ETH, equivalent to approximately 4.6 million USD, through Tornado Cash. The attacker's associated address, identified as 0xc772...7475, was used in the operation.
Tornado Cash, a privacy-focused Ethereum mixing service, was utilized by the attacker to allegedly launder the stolen funds. This service allows users to send or mix their Ether in a way that breaks the on-chain link between the source and destination addresses, making transactions untraceable.
The incident raises concerns about the potential misuse of privacy tools like Tornado Cash for illicit activities. It also underscores the importance of robust security measures in the cryptocurrency space to prevent such incidents. Further details about the attack or the identity of the attacker remain undisclosed.
