1.1 million dollars instantly evaporated, after the hacker swept through 5 chains, heading straight to Tornado Cash

【ChainWen】Big trouble again.

About a day ago, a unlucky person’s wallet on five EVM chains was completely compromised, and the private key was probably obtained by someone. A total of $1.1 million was stolen, and that’s not the end—after getting the money, the hacker acted quickly, converting all tokens into ETH, then throwing 330 ETH into Tornado Cash to mix everything up.

Now trying to recover? Basically impossible. Mixing services are specifically designed for this purpose; once funds go in, it’s like throwing stones into the sea.

This is a warning to everyone: never be careless with private key management. Keeping large assets in hot wallets is truly playing with fire. Especially when operating across multiple chains, a single mistake can cause assets on all chains to suffer.

I'll generate 5 comments with different styles: 1. Again with Tornado Cash, this trick is so overused. 2. Lost 1.1 million just like that, I need to check my private key... 3. All five chains are down? This guy is really hopeless, no wonder he's been exploited. 4. To be honest, keeping large amounts in hot wallets is gambling; it's bound to go wrong sooner or later. 5. Once Tornado Cash gets involved, it becomes untraceable—too ruthless.

1.1 million dollars just gone like that, Tornado’s move was truly brilliant, in front of mixers everyone is equal --- It’s the hot wallet again causing trouble, such careless multi-chain operations, no wonder they got exploited --- 330 ETH sent to Tornado directly GG, this hacker’s efficiency is really high --- Hearing about private key theft a hundred times, but someone still falls into the trap, Web3 is really a big wave that washes away the sands --- Want to recover it? Dream on, Tornado is just a hacker’s ATM --- All five chains got hit, this guy must be extremely careless, I’m convinced --- Once you enter the mixer, there’s no hope, it’s like funds going into a black hole --- This issue really requires being more cautious, but honestly most people won’t learn --- 1.1 million USD... I’m breaking apart, this shows the importance of multi-signature wallets

This is the consequence of not using a hardware wallet... $1.1 million is gone just like that. It's Tornado Cash again; once you use the mixer, you really can't get your funds back. Holding so much money in a hot wallet, no wonder you're being targeted for exploitation. If you ask me, all five chains should be shut down; this guy's private key management must be terrible... Fortunately, I'm cautious, and my cold wallet is very secure. Seeing news like this once is enough; it's so frustrating.

1.1 million dollars just gone like that, Tornado really makes people disappear into thin air after a stir --- How many times have I said this about private key management, yet some people still don't listen --- All five chains are down, this guy must be really unlucky, but it also reminds us not to be greedy with hot wallets --- Sending 330 ETH into Tornado is like throwing it into a black hole, can't even chase it back --- Another one getting hurt, when will everyone remember to be more careful --- Mixed coin mixers are just hackers' ATMs; once the funds go in, say goodbye --- Multi-chain deployment is the biggest risk; a single problem can cause a complete collapse --- All five chains falling at once, either the private key was phished or the hardware wallet was not used properly --- Losing 1.1 million dollars and still able to post calmly, this guy's mindset is impressive --- Tornado after a whirl completely cleans the funds, no wonder hackers love to use it

This is really the end now, Tornado mixing is basically hopeless. --- Another private key leak, why is it so hard to defend against every time? --- Is 1.1 million gone just like that? I need to check my multi-signature wallet. --- Storing large amounts on hot wallets is really gambling with your life; this guy is totally unlucky. --- Five chains hit at the same time, how unlucky can you get? I need to diversify my risk. --- Once the mixer is mixed, you can't track it anymore. This is the dark side of Web3. --- It looks like I still need to use a hardware wallet; no matter how troublesome, it's better than losing money. --- 330 ETH into Tornado, no way to track it now, too ruthless.

It's the same old trick of private key leaks; hardware wallets really need to be set up properly. --- 1.1 million just vanished like that; Tornado is a veritable hell on earth. --- A multi-chain wallet having a problem means everything is doomed; this lesson is truly bloodily clear. --- It's 2024 and you're still storing coins in hot wallets—are you really trying to be targeted by hackers? --- Using mixers on-chain turns everything into a mystery; there's really no way to trace it. --- Whether a cold wallet is secure or not, this guy should now understand. --- 330 ETH, just thinking about it makes me hurt; this is the price of not doing proper opsec. --- Every time I see this kind of event, I want to ask: how can private keys be so easily leaked? --- Keeping large amounts in hot wallets is really suicidal; the risk is endless. --- All five chains have been compromised, clearly indicating the hackers are targeting this wallet.

1.1 million dollars lost, this guy really gave us a lesson Damn, private keys are really not to be taken lightly, one slip and everything is gone Tornado Cash got involved, and this money is really unrecoverable, haha Multi-chain wallets are so dangerous, if one chain crashes, the others have to go down with it This is why I keep my large positions sleeping in cold wallets, and only keep petty cash in hot wallets Seeing this news, I feel for him, 1.1 million dollars Hackers are so fast, instantly swapping coins into mixers, a truly professional all-in-one service This incident reminds us that safety always comes first, no matter how high the returns, a single mistake can be disastrous
