Harmony hacker sends stolen funds to Tornado Cash mixer

The second and very first wallets that got ETH from an exploiters primary wallet, respectively, have actually now blended the coins. They are entrusted 16.3 ETH each. This is most likely to be insufficient to bother with.

The 3rd wallet was hectic sending Tornado batches of 100 Ethereum in eight-minute intervals. As of this writing, there were still 2,800 coins left.

The funds from Harmonys Horizon Bridge are now moving into the Tornado Money Ethererum mixer. This shows that the assaulter is not thinking about accepting the $1,000,000 bounty.

Cointelegraph has yet to hear back from Harmony about what they prepare to do to replace the bridges taken funds.

The Harmony group decided to hide the illegal gains. This responses questions about whether the deal of 1% of the $100,000,000 in taken crypto funds on June 24 by the Harmony group would encourage the victim to return them.

The explorer still has $80 million worth of ETH in his main wallet. They may return some of the funds to Horizon or take a break, as it took the exploiter 13 hours to blend only $21 million.

The initial haul deserved about $100 million, however favorable ETH cost variations have increased the dollar value to $101.5 million.
