Crypto Mixer Tornado Cash Hacked

A malicious bid from an unidentified attacker resulted in him obtaining the Tornado Cash, leading to a potential treasure dump. The DAO, which manages Tornado Cash’s operations, funds and future plans, has been effectively taken over by an unidentified attacker or a group of attackers.

Earlier over the weekend, the attacker submitted a malicious offer that disguised a code function that could be used to spoof some aspects of Tornado Cash. This proposal also enabled the withdrawal of locked tokens, such as (TORN) tokens held in the master management contract. This was done with a bid that contained malicious code that updated the logic that gave the attacker access to all governance votes.

Security researcher samczsun tweeted:

“Now that they have all the votes, they can do whatever they want. In this case, as TORN, they withdrew 10,000 votes and sold them all.”
