Golden Finance Report: According to PeckShield monitoring, after the major security vulnerability incident at India's CEX WazirX on July 18th, hackers transferred part of the stolen cryptocurrency to the mixing service Tornado Cash through a series of operations. In the past 9 hours, the attacker has successfully transferred 2600.1 ETH (worth approximately $6.5 million) into Tornado Cash. This action may aim to obscure the source of funds to evade tracking and potential legal consequences. Previously, the security vulnerability suffered by WazirX led to over $230 million worth of cryptocurrency theft, and this transfer action has once again sparked discussions in the industry regarding the security of crypto assets and the legality and compliance of mixing services.
