On-Chain Analyst Yu Jin discovered a serious security incident yesterday — a well-known computational verification platform was hacked through a system vulnerability, resulting in the theft of 8,535 ETH. Even more surprisingly, this massive amount of funds worth $26.36 million did not stay on the chain for long. The hacker quickly laundered all these ETH through Tornado privacy mixer the day after the incident, and the entire process was carried out quite "decisively." This incident once again reminds us that even platforms built on blockchain can have smart contract vulnerabilities that may become entry points for hackers. In the current DeFi ecosystem, security audits and risk management still need to be strengthened.

Again, getting hacked. Is Tornado really that easy to use...
---
Over 8,500 ETH just washed away, this audit is just for show
---
Oh my god, smart contract vulnerabilities are so easy to exploit? My funds are still inside
---
Hackers handled everything within 24 hours, their techniques are really slick
---
DeFi is becoming less and less secure, holding spot assets is still the safest
---
Tornado has gained another user, mixer business is really profitable haha
---
The platform lost big this time, $26 million just disappeared
---
Why are there so many smart contract vulnerabilities? What are developers even doing?
---
Another well-known platform has crashed, you really can't trust this circle
---
Hackers are quick, feels even faster than a transfer

Over 8,500 ETH just gone, wiped out by Tornado... Who these days dares to say their contract is truly secure?

Another one? This time, did Tornado do the cleaning directly? Protection is just a facade, brother.

Tornado has done it again, this time helping hackers "disappear completely," truly amazing. 8535 ETH was washed just like that, over two billion dollars just vanished, luckily I didn't keep my coins on that platform...

Here we go again, even big platforms can't withstand this... Tornado money laundering is really fast and ruthless. Is there no one who can stop it?
