The attacker who exploited mixing service Tornado Cashโs DAO has conducted a series of transactions, the 1st since the governance takeover last weekend.
Per EtherScan, two transactions were conducted approximately an hour and a half before press time. 1 transaction of 100 Ethereumย (ETH) was sent to the Tornado Cash Router, which is used in the serviceโs funds-obfuscating process. The other transaction comprised 38,302.57 TORN, which is the governance cryptoย token for the DAO.ย
As previously informed by The Block, the exploiter took over the DAO following the passage of a malicious governance proposition this weekend. The pseudonymous security researcher Samczsun had informed that the exploit providedย the attacker governance control but that most funds held within the Tornado Cash are shielded from theft.
Tornado Cash was sanctioned by the Unitedย States Government aย yearย ago for its use by cybercriminals, including North Koreaโs Lazarus group. Overย theย lastย fewย years, international law enforcement officials have targeted mixing services like Tornado Cash.ย
