The Drift attacker just came back after two months… and apparently chose Tornado Cash for a little financial disappearing act.
The attacker linked to the Drift Protocol exploit has reportedly moved at least 13,400 ETH worth approximately $32M into Tornado Cash, potentially to obscure the trail of funds.
Here’s the current picture:
$32M: ETH reportedly transferred to Tornado Cash.
$225M: Total assets still held in tracked wallets.
93,965 ETH: Worth approximately $224M.
477,375 USDY: Worth around $549K.
1.33 SOL: Approximately $138.
Transfers to a mixing service can make tracing funds more difficult, but they do not automatically mean the assets have been successfully laundered or sold. The remaining tracked holdings are still substantial, making further on-chain movements worth monitoring.
Two months of silence, then a $32M transfer. Bro really logged back in, opened Tornado Cash, and hit “hide transaction history.”
The question is: Can blockchain investigators keep tracking the money, or will the trail get harder to follow from here?
