The funds were taken from a crypto whale in 2023 when the holder signed transactions that allowed the attacker to access the funds.
An account linked to a phishing attack in September 2023 has moved $10 million in Ether (ETH) to the crypto-mixing protocol Tornado Cash.
On March 21, blockchain security firm CertiK flagged an account linked to the $24 million hack transferring 3,700 ETH to Tornado Cash. The funds were taken from a crypto whale in a phishing incident on Sept. 6, 2023.
At the time, the investor lost $24 million in staked ETH on the liquid staking provider Rocket Pool. The hack was done in two transactions: one took 9,579 stETH, while the other drained 4,851 rETH from the crypto whale.
