Tornado Cash is once again a hacker’s playground—washing 21 million with ease.

CoinWorld news, according to on-chain analyst Specter's monitoring, the Step Finance attacker is actively transferring the previously stolen funds into Ethereum via a cross-chain bridge and depositing them into the mixing protocol Tornado Cash. The attacker first transferred $5.8 million in assets across chains and received 3,874 ETH, then transferred another $21.4 million and received 12,124 ETH. So far, the attacker has deposited a total of $10.8 million into Tornado Cash, with the remaining $16 million in stolen funds still being continuously laundered. Additionally, over the past five hours, two attackers, including the one in the above case, have transferred over $21 million in total into Tornado Cash.
