A hacker behind the Unleash breach has been spotted moving approximately 4 million ETH through Tornado Cash, a privacy mixer widely used in the crypto space. The suspicious activity highlights ongoing concerns about fund laundering through decentralized mixing protocols. Security analysts are tracking the transaction flow as part of broader investigations into the incident. This case underscores the challenges exchanges and platforms face in monitoring large-scale asset transfers and the role privacy tools play in post-breach scenarios.

4 million ETH running through Tornado? This data needs to be verified carefully. Based on the current node monitoring tracking accuracy, the obfuscation level of the mixing protocol should have been penetrated long ago.

Tornadoes are laundering money again. This thing should have been banned from the start.

Four million ETH just played a minor role, and Tornado Cash has done it again haha

4 million ETH into Tornado... This move is too outrageous, are they really just openly doing it?

4 million ETH moved through Tornado Cash. From on-chain data, the issue with this money laundering route lies in its traceability. According to the white paper, the design of privacy protocols inherently involves incentive incompatibility — in other words, what is the premise of the assumption? Fully anonymous or partially obfuscated? It’s worth noting that this exposes the fragility of exchange risk control governance mechanisms.
I think on-chain footprints should be visible; no matter how advanced privacy mixers are, they cannot change the fundamental immutability of the blockchain. The real question is, why hasn't anyone proposed a DAO regulatory proposal in advance?
Hmm... Is Tornado Cash a tool or an accomplice, or should centralized exchanges be responsible? This game-theoretic equilibrium is a bit complex.
