Drift Attack Wallets Deposit $61.3 Million in Ether Into Tornado Cash

Wallets linked to the Drift Protocol exploit deposited another 24,885 Ether (ETH), worth about $61.3 million, into Tornado Cash on Oct. 21, extending the movement of funds tied to the attack. The tracked addresses still held 56,569 ETH, valued at roughly $139.3 million, after the deposit. That remaining balance was worth more than twice the latest transfer. The figures describe separate amounts: ETH sent to Tornado Cash and ETH left in the addresses. Tornado Cash is a crypto mixing protocol that makes the connection between deposits and later withdrawals harder to trace. A deposit does not, by itself, establish that the funds were sold or recovered. The addresses are linked to the Drift Protocol exploit, in which the attacker stole more than $270 million in assets.
