Hackers Used Tornado Cash to Launder $500K Associated with DAOMaker
According to experts from PeckShield and CertiK, an Ethereum address associated with the DAOMaker protocol exploit has laundered about 500,000 in the stablecoin DAI.
The company has written:
“PeckShield has determined that an address labeled as a DAOMaker hacker transferred 500,000 DAI to Tornado Cash.”
An unknown person attacked the DAOMaker platform in August last year and illegally withdrew more than $7 million in USDC.
The US Treasury added a year later to its sanctions list the mixing service Tornado Cash. The agency suspected the platform of laundering about $7 billion since 2017.
