Aztec Hackers Mix 300 ETH Through Tornado Cash, Total Stolen ETH Now at 500
Aztec's private Rollup bridge has been hacked again, with an attacker moving 300 ETH to Tornado Cash, bringing their total mixed amount of stolen ETH to 500.
This incident follows a previous hack in which the same attackers exploited Aztec's Rollup bridge and stole around $1 million worth of Ethereum.
The hackers have been using Tornado Cash to launder their stolen funds, making it increasingly difficult for law enforcement agencies to track the transactions.
Aztec has not yet commented on the latest hack or taken any measures to mitigate the situation.
However, the company's CEO, who was quoted in a previous statement, emphasized the importance of transparency and cooperation between projects in preventing such attacks.
The use of Tornado Cash by hackers highlights the ongoing concerns around the mixing service's role in facilitating illicit activities on the blockchain.
Regulatory scrutiny is intensifying as governments and institutions seek to address these issues.
