Triple-A attacker moves $12.4m in ETH to Tornado Cash
Published Updated 1 new report since it was first published
A wallet linked to Triple-A’s July treasury breach moved 4,970 ETH, worth about $12.4 million, into Tornado Cash. The transfers were tracked in October after the funds had been consolidated on Oct. 9. A blockchain security firm identified the activity as tied to the breach and said the ETH was split across dozens of deposits.
What this rests on
What it means
Users and anyone following Triple-A’s treasury incident now see a large amount of ETH moved through Tornado Cash after the July breach. That makes the chain activity visible to the broader crypto sector and to monitors watching sanctioned or privacy-focused transfers.
What changed in practice is that the funds were consolidated on Oct. 9 and then sent out in 56 transactions, rather than appearing as one transfer. The underlying July theft remains the same event in the background, but the later movement shows a new transaction path for the same assets.
