$2.3 million collaborative theft case: funds from two wallets stolen by hackers flowed to Tornado Cash.

[Coin World] A recent large-scale encryption theft incident has raised alarms. Two wallets were affected in succession, and the hacker made off with over 2.3 million dollars in one go—of which one amount was 1.8 million dollars and the other was 506 thousand dollars, all directed to the same malicious address.

What’s even more heartbreaking is that the attacker immediately transferred the funds to Tornado Cash, aiming to obscure the flow of funds through coin mixing. However, all of this was recorded by the on-chain monitoring system.

The victim posted a message on the chain, clearly stating that these transfers were not authorized by them at all. What does this mean? Either the private key was stolen, or they fell victim to a phishing attack. Wallet security issues often stem from these two aspects—one careless mistake, and millions of dollars can vanish into thin air. This incident also reminds us that in the world of encryption, private key management and phishing prevention are indeed serious matters.
