Drift Hacker Sends Millions to Crypto Mixing Protocol Tornado Cash

The Drift Protocol hacker has made another move to launder their stolen funds. On July 23, an address linked to the attacker deposited approximately $44.4 million in Ether into Tornado Cash. This comes after a three-month hiatus from moving the stolen assets.

The hack occurred in April, resulting in losses of $285 million. The hacker converted and distributed a significant portion of the funds across multiple addresses, with some being sent to global crypto exchange Bybit for an unknown purpose.

Tornado Cash is a protocol designed to mix cryptocurrency deposits and withdrawals, making it more difficult to track the flow of funds and link transactions to specific users.
