A wallet address associated with the WazirX hacker has transferred $6.5 million worth of stolen ETH to Tornado Cash as the exchange opens up withdrawals to users ahead of time.
A wallet address associated with the hacker that stole over $235 million from Indian crypto exchange WazirX has just moved $6.5 million worth of funds through the sanctioned crypto mixer Tornado Cash.
In a Sept. 3 post to X, blockchain security platform Cyvers shared that the hacker had transferred a total of 2,600 Ether (ETH) — worth $6.5 million at current prices — to Tornado Cash in a bid to launder the stolen funds.
Beginning Sept. 2, the wallet address held a total of $6.7 million but now holds just $154,000, after the hacker made 26 separate transfers of 100 ETH to Tornado Cash in just one hour, according to data from crypto tracking platform DeBank.
