The first group, which totals $20.7 million in equivalent, is already sent to various centralized exchanges. Namely, hackers are attempting to sell their loot on FTX and Huobi, two heavyweight CEXes.
Then, almost $90 million in equivalent were transferred to Tornado Cash, the most popular mixer service utilized to obfuscate the history of crypto tokens.
The vast majority of crypto obtained by a hacker is still stored on its account: $459 million in equivalent are dormant as of today, April 14, 2022.
New assets are being transferred to Tornado Cash every day
As covered by U.Today previously, the hack of Axie Infinity's sidechain, Ronin Network (RON), is the largest hacker attack in the history of the DeFi segment.
The net sum of losses eclipsed $625 million. To prevent this from happening again, Sky Mavis, the company behind Axie Infinity (AXS) and its sidechain Ronin Network (RON), launched an unprecedented $1 million bug bounty campaign.
The attackers are sending Ethers to Tornado every day; they are divided into 1,000-3,000 Ether portions.
