A hacker took control of a multi-signature wallet, stealing $27.3 million in crypto assets. The attacker recently withdrew 1,000 ETH (about $3.24 million) from Aave and laundered funds through Tornado Cash, with total deposits reaching 6,300 ETH (around $19.4 million). On-chain data shows the hacker still holds leveraged positions worth $9.75 million in ETH and DAI. This follows a September 22 attack where the same actor minted unauthorized tokens and drained tens of millions in crypto.
