According to Arkham's monitoring, Binance hackers just transferred $38.82 million worth of ETH to a new wallet, possibly preparing to deposit it into Tornado Cash. The wallet still holds $1.12 billion in ETH.
Odaily Report: According to monitoring by Benson Sun, Coinkarma founder Benson Sun posted that in Binance's recent theft incident, the exchange has confirmed the freezing of approximately $2.5 billion in assets, accounting for about half of the total stolen amount, with the remaining assets primarily consisting of Bitcoin and ETH. The stolen Bitcoin is worth approximately over $1 billion, but Bitcoin lacks deep mixing pools similar to Tornado Cash, and the relevant addresses will be flagged by trading platforms and on-chain analytics firms, making it far more difficult to liquidate than ETH. Reviewing cases such as the 2016 Bitfinex stolen Bitcoin that remained untouched for years, and the approximately 1,800 BTC stolen from Coldcard in July this year with 90% still unmoved as of early September, Benson Sun stated that this theft is larger in scale, and splitting addresses, mixing coins, and then discounting through OTC trading could take years, with short-term selling pressure nearly zero. If Binance uses SAFU to compensate and replenish Bitcoin, it could instead create buying pressure. In contrast, large amounts of ERC-20 tokens converted into ETH and then deposited into Tornado Cash are harder to trace, and the amount that could genuinely translate into market selling pressure may be in the range of over $1 billion. Benson Sun believes that market confidence will be impacted, but the direct selling pressure on Bitcoin is not as large as imagined, and called on the industry to seriously address security arrangements for hot wallet management, signature authorization, and quantum resistance in the post-AI era.
Odaily reports: According to Bitcoin News monitoring, on-chain analysis shows that attackers appear to have exploited the Ethereum EIP-7702 mechanism to obtain signature authorization, installing malicious code without directly accessing the private keys of Binance-associated wallets. The attackers then called a function named "sweep" to transfer ETH and dozens of tokens into wallets under their control; the same delegation permission was reportedly also used to transfer $780 million USDC out of another Binance hot wallet. The attackers' transaction relayer received funding through Tornado Cash, and nearly 195,460 ETH was subsequently transferred to a newly created wallet. How the attackers obtained the relevant authorization remains unclear. Binance stated that user funds are safe and that an investigation is currently underway.
According to on-chain reports, abnormal fund outflows have occurred from Binance's hot wallet, with funds flowing to newly created addresses. These addresses were initially funded via Tornado Cash, and the stolen funds are valued at over $2.5 billion.
According to monitoring by on-chain analyst Onchain Lens (@OnchainLens), the BSC-based prediction market platform Predict Fun was allegedly compromised via a vulnerability, with approximately $300,000 in suspected stolen funds transferred from multiple contracts through intermediary wallets to Relay. These funds were reportedly routed into Tornado Cash following a cross-chain transfer.
According to monitoring by Scam Sniffer, a user's assets on the Ethereum and Base networks were reportedly stolen due to a leaked private key, resulting in losses of approximately $1.58 million. The attacker drained 682 ETH in under two hours, with approximately 281 ETH subsequently transferred to Tornado Cash.
On-chain analyst PeckShield (@PeckShieldAlert) has tracked an address flagged as the Cysic attacker depositing 300 ETH (approximately $721,140) and 30.4 BNB (approximately $22,590) into Tornado Cash. According to the Cysic Foundation, a security incident involving the Cysic cross-chain bridge occurred on October 17, during which the attacker minted 10 million CYS tokens without authorization on the BNB Chain.
According to monitoring by PeckShieldAlert, the address labeled as Drift Exploiter 1 is depositing a new batch of stolen funds into Tornado Cash. To date, it has cumulatively transferred in approximately 18,800 ETH, worth around $46 million.
Odaily reports: According to on-chain analyst Aunt Ai's monitoring, a whale accumulated 5,147 ETH between August 12 and 13 at an average price of $1,886.7, and 5 hours ago transferred 5,170 ETH into Tornado Cash for batch "cleansing," worth $12.82 million; this portion of tokens currently has an unrealized profit of $3.056 million, and the purpose of the transfer is unknown.
Odaily News: According to Bitcoin News monitoring, the attacker behind the Ledger supply chain theft has moved nearly 3,000 ETH through Tornado Cash in three separate transactions, and transferred the funds into the Zcash privacy pool before converting them to USDC. Investigator @YFarmX stated that despite the use of privacy tools, they have traced 108 transactions completed through Zcash by exact value matching. An estimated $2.85 million in stolen USDC is still held in 3 wallets, and Circle may be able to freeze the related funds. Meanwhile, Tether is reported to have frozen $10 million in stolen USDT; wallets associated with the attacker still hold approximately $38.6 million in ETH and $16.9 million in BTC.
据 Salus 监测，加密支付服务商 Triple-A 的攻击者已将 4,970 枚 ETH（价值约 1,240 万美元）转入混合清算工具 Tornado Cash。今年 7 月，该攻击者盗取了 Triple-A 自身财库的资产，公开估计损失约为 1,180 万美元。在将资金跨链桥接至以太坊网络并完成代币兑换后，攻击者于 9 月 6 日将资金分散至两个中间地址。10 月 9 日，攻击者通过单一钱包整合两笔资金流，并分批充值至 Tornado Cash，其中包括 49 笔 100 ETH 和 7 笔 10 ETH 的交易，其中部分资金来源于此前从混币器提取的款项。
according to on-chain analyst Yu Jin's monitoring, an address received 263 ETH from Tornado Cash yesterday, then swapped it for approximately 643,000 USDC and deposited it into Hyperliquid.The address opened a 40x leveraged cross-margin short position on 305.5 BTC, with a position size of approximately $25.38 million, an average entry price of $83,068, and a liquidation price of $84,088. The current unrealized profit is about $160,000. The source of the address's funds involves Tornado Cash, but it cannot yet be confirmed whether it is related to hacker activity.
According to on-chain analyst Onchain Lens (@OnchainLens), the hacker associated with the $90 million Ledger reseller incident has cumulatively deposited approximately $270,300 into Binance, including 256.57K USDT and 41.12K TRX (about $13,700), with the majority of funds already transferred to Binance's hot wallet. Previously, the hacker also used four wallets to deposit 430.2 ETH (approximately $1.07 million) into Tornado Cash for mixing, and converted USDT to USDD to evade Tether's fund freeze.
According to Onchain Lens monitoring, the suspected hacker behind the reported $90 million Ledger reseller incident has deposited 430.2 ETH, worth $1.07 million, into Tornado Cash through 4 wallets. After Tether froze the related funds, the hacker swapped USDT for USDD through SUN.io and USDD's PSM, with some funds also flowing into Binance hot wallets.The hacker's wallet tracked by Arkham currently holds a total of $70.6 million in assets, including 11,406 ETH worth $28.35 million; 213.371 BTC worth $17.65 million; 13.646 million USDD worth $13.65 million; and 10.909 million USDT worth $10.91 million. Onchain Lens is calling on Binance to investigate these transfers and freeze accounts associated with the stolen funds as soon as possible.
Odaily News: Analysis by security firm CertiK shows that a legacy MakerDAO auction keeper contract was exploited, with the attacker draining 200 ETH worth over $500,000. According to CertiK, the root cause is a lack of access control in the 0x8804d1de function within the keeper implementation contract. This contract was involved in the March 2020 "Black Thursday" liquidation crisis, where it won ETH at zero bids. Four lots of 50 ETH each were never settled, and the attacker used this to drain the funds, transferring them out via Tornado Cash in batches of 10 ETH each. This contract is not part of the current Sky ecosystem core, but old contracts still holding funds may remain potential attack targets.
a new address funded via Tornado Cash extracted 200 WETH on October 6 from a dormant MakerDAO ETH-A liquidation bot proxy, causing losses of approximately $538,000. The upgradeable proxy had won 4 ETH-A liquidation auctions in 2020, namely auctions #1457 through #1460, earning 50 WETH each, but never called deal(), leaving the collateral stuck in the Flipper. The implementation contract's exit function was not protected by ds-auth, allowing any caller to trigger it: first calling deal() on the aforementioned old auctions, then transferring the collateral to the keeper via Vat.flux, and subsequently calling GemJoin.exit to send the 200 WETH to a caller-specified address and unwrap it into ETH. The MakerDAO core contracts operated as designed; the vulnerability lies in the third-party bot's exit function lacking access controls.
Odaily News — According to monitoring by the Drift Foundation, the Drift Foundation has released an update on fund recovery progress related to the April 1 security incident: approximately $295 million in user assets were stolen. The foundation has engaged Mandiant, zeroShadow, and SEAL 911 to conduct the investigation and trace the funds, with Mandiant identifying the attacker as the North Korean threat group UNC6862.The stolen funds were subsequently bridged to Ethereum, with approximately 130,300 ETH distributed across 4 wallets. Three of these wallets have seen no transfers to date, collectively holding 107,200 ETH; the other wallet transferred approximately 23,100 ETH to Tornado Cash on July 23.Currently, approximately $9.2 million in stolen funds has been frozen. The relevant funds had previously been transferred through Tornado Cash in August, and unfreezing and return still require cooperation with legal procedures. The Drift Foundation will transfer all assets recovered through freezing, bounties, or law enforcement channels into the DFX recovery pool, and is evaluating the subsequent path of the DRIFT token within the broader ecosystem. In addition, the foundation has partnered with Bybit to launch a public bounty program, offering a 10% bounty on successfully recovered funds.
Odaily News: The sandwich attack bot operated by JaredfromSubway.eth has extracted a cumulative total of 117,007 ETH since March 2023, worth approximately $295 million at current prices. In June 2026, an anonymous attacker deployed 66 counterfeit token contracts, exploiting the bot's automated trading logic to steal at least $7.5 million in ETH and stablecoins, and funneled the funds into Tornado Cash. The stolen assets have not yet been recovered.Sandwich attacks are a form of Maximal Extractable Value (MEV): the bot monitors large transactions in Ethereum's public mempool, buys ahead of the target transaction, and sells after the transaction pushes the price up, capturing profits from the spread. The bot's primary contract had received a cumulative total of 117,007 ETH as of August 28.MEV-Boost block construction is centralized among a small group of participants, with relay.ultrasound.money, Titan Relay, and bloXroute regulated relays collectively forwarding approximately 85% to 88% of related blocks within a 24-hour window; Titan's builder independently assembled 50.3% of the blocks. Monthly sandwich attack extraction amounts have declined from approximately $10 million in late 2024 to roughly $2.5 million in October 2025. (Bitcoin.com News)
Odaily News: According to on-chain detective Specter's monitoring, the victim claimed that due to a Coldcard hack, funds were transferred from Bitcoin to Ethereum. However, on-chain data shows that the 73 BTC ($4.6 million) originally came from the Whirlpool coin mixer two weeks ago, with some of it bridged to Ethereum and subsequently deposited through a phishing Tornado Cash interface. Two coin mixers were used during the fund transfer process. The individual was also found to have appeared in Telegram groups involving private key searches and brute-force attacks. On-chain detective Specter stated that the victim may be a threat actor, and their funds may have been stolen by another threat actor.
According to monitoring by on-chain analyst Ember (@EmberCN), a hacker address associated with Tornado Cash bought 18,273 ETH at an average price of $2,109, spending 38.535 million DAI/USDS over the past 5 hours during today's strong ETH rebound. It is reported that the aforementioned stablecoins originated from 17,124 ETH the hacker received from Tornado Cash 9 months ago, which were all sold at an average price of approximately $3,308 at that time to be held as stablecoins, and were bought back to rebuild positions today taking advantage of the significant ETH rebound.
