$44M Moved Through Tornado Cash After Drift Protocol Exploit

A wallet linked to the $285 million Drift Protocol exploit moved $44.4 million worth of Ether into Tornado Cash after being inactive for three months.

The funds were transferred in batches of 100 ETH, with a total of 23,095.1 Ether moved on July 23 and 24.

ZachXBT, the researcher tracking the exploit, stated that he would no longer be following the funds due to the resources required to monitor and freeze a nine-figure North Korea-linked theft.

Drift previously announced a recovery bounty program with Arkham and Bybit, but it is unclear whether the program became fully active or if it covered continuing wallet monitoring.
