Drift Attacker Moves $122.3 Million in ETH Into Tornado Cash

Wallets linked to the Drift Protocol attacker moved $122.3 million worth of Ether (ETH) into Tornado Cash across two days, adding a major new transfer in the aftermath of the $285 million exploit on Solana.

The deposits were divided among 520 transactions on Oct. 20 and 21. The combined amount is the largest hacker-linked deposit into Tornado Cash in nearly two years. The two-day total reflects the value of the full transfer series, not one transaction.

Drift Protocol was attacked on April 1, with losses totaling $285 million. On that date, $269.32 million in funds moved out of wallets tracked in connection with the attack. Wallets labeled as belonging to the attacker still held about $137.22 million in assets.

The October transfers extend the movement of funds tied to the exploit months after the initial loss. The figures describe separate stages of the incident: the original loss, attack-day outflows, the remaining tracked wallet assets and the latest amount deposited into Tornado Cash.
