A hacker involved in the feat of $ 4.67 million in tension funding from the decentralized financial loan protocol in 2022 moved part of the stolen tornado ether after a short hibernation.
The blockchain security company, Certik, said in a position of May 6 to X that the 100 ether (ETH), worth $ 182,783 at current prices, had been moved from a different address initially used in the feat but can be traced by the pirate.
In March 2022, the operating took advantage of an “integrated recall function” in the ERC677 token standard and enabled them to empty the loan pool of the platform thanks to a reversal attack, according to Certik.
After the feat, the finance of the tension reported that the hacker stole various stablescoins and other crypto, including USDC (USDC), Binance USD (Busd), Bitcoin wrapped (WBTC) and Ethereum tokens.
The address used by the Pirate to bring the funds to Tornado Cash was dormant since November, with the last transaction 166 days ago, according to Etherscan data.
In a exploit post-mortem in 2022, the finance of the tension said that the attacker’s address had been reported in Etherscan, and the exchanges had been invited to block the transactions. Attempts were also made to contact the attacker and negotiate a premium to return the funds.
Tension financing bason basins struck in March
The financing of the tension was again affected by another feat on March 18, when its simple implementation basins were compromised, the protocol said in a statement displayed at X. In total, $ 322,000 was stolen.
In his post-mortem of March 20, Voltage Finance said that he had offered the striker a bonus of $ 50,000 to return the funds and had perhaps identified a developer who worked on simple shuttle basins, who could have been involved.
“Although we have not confirmed if he is the pirate, as a precaution, we have revoked his access immediately and submitted police reports to collaborate with the police and centralized exchanges,” he said.
In relation: Crypto pirates struck DFI for $ 92 million in April while attacks double from March
Global crypto losses increased by 1,163% in April, the lion’s share from a single break in the portfolio of an elderly American individual, after a hacker used advanced social engineering tactics to steal 3,520 Bitcoin (BTC), worth $ 330.7 million.
Excluding this attack, the corner of April crypto was $ 34 million, a leap of 21% compared to March.
However, the month has also seen more than $ 18 million returned when the hacker behind the exploit of $ 7.5 million in decentralized Kiloex exchange made all the funds stolen only four days after the attack.
The ZKSYNC association has also recovered for $ 5 million from tokens stolen from a security incident on April 15 involving its airline distribution contract.
