Summary: <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Tornado Cash attacker sent 360 Ether (ETH) to the Ethereum-based crypto mixer after swapping TORN tokens siphoned from the protocol over the weekend. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
On May 20, an attacker hijacked the Tornado Cash governance functionality by using a malicious proposal. The proposal was built using the same coding logic as a previously passed proposal but held an “emergencyStop” function. This allowed the attacker to essentially take over the protocol’s governance system and obtain an inordinate number of voting power.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After granting themselves 1,200,000 votes – 700,000 more than the real votes from community members – the attacker stole hundreds of thousands of TORN tokens used to incentivize private relayers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Notably, the attacker was not able to access individual pools or drain assets deposited into Tornado Cash, Paradigm research @samczsun said on Twitter. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
