Follow-up on the $282 million theft: stolen funds reappear, hackers accelerate money laundering

2026-01-19 02:38:11

【BitPush】Security agencies have detected a new development in the wallet theft incident on January 10th that resulted in over $282 million in losses. Approximately $63 million of the stolen funds was transferred to address 0xF73a…cc21 before further movement. More notably, this amount was subsequently detected being deposited into Tornado Cash for mixing operations. Such on-chain movements of large sums often indicate that hackers are accelerating the laundering of stolen funds. For exchanges and wallet users, this serves as a warning—asset security measures must not be relaxed.

They're at it again, money laundering. They've even started using Tornado Cash. These people really have some ideas.

It's the same old Tornado Cash routine again; hackers really know the money laundering process inside out.

$63 million into Tornado Cash? The trolls are playing hide and seek with the monitoring agencies... By the way, Tornado really should be shut down.

Tornado Cash is back in action. This hacker really knows the way, openly money laundering like this... Speaking of $63 million, how long would it take to wash it all clean? It seems that on-chain, there's ultimately no escape.
