$63M From $282M Crypto Wallet Hack Routed Through Tornado Cash

Key Highlights:

On January 19, CertiK reported $63 million moved to Tornado Cash following the $282 million crypto wallet theft on January 10.
The stolen funds, including BTC and LTC, were converted to Monero and ETH using cross-chain swaps and mixers.
CertiK detected at least 686 BTC bridged into 19,600 ETH, then split and routed through Tornado Cash for money laundering.
Blockchain investigator ZachXBT indicated the attacker used social engineering tactics to execute the theft.
Marwan Hachem of FearsOff described the method as a "textbook" approach for obscuring transactions and complicating fund recovery.
Tornado Cash was highlighted as a significant tool for erasing transaction traces, reducing chances of asset recovery to near zero.
