According to #blockchain data, addresses linked to the $625 million #Ronin Bridge exploit show that over $10 million worth of ether was on the move during the Asian morning hours on Wednesday. This morning, one #address was funded by the Ronin operator for 5505 ethers, while the funds came from another wallet, which was directly funded by the main address of the exploiter, as the blockchain data show. Starting Wednesday morning, the address was sending #ETH in batches of 100 coins to #Tornado, the online privacy exchange. According to the data, more than 55 transactions were made. The wallet contains only 3.4 ether worth more than $7000 at the time of writing, which suggests that most of the funds were transferred to Tornado and sold. Tornado increases the confidentiality of transactions by breaking the link between the source and destination address. This allows exploiters and hackers to mask their addresses when withdrawing funds obtained illegally. Wednesday's moves followed the aggressive sale of stolen Ethere in early April, when exploiters transferred 21,000 ethers in several transactions to Tornado. At that time, there was more than $65 million there. In March, the Ronin network suffered from a $625 million exploit that affected Ronin verification nodes for Sky Mavis, publisher of the popular game Axie Infinity, and #Axie DAO. The attacker "used hacked private keys to fake withdrawals," Ronin said in a blog post explaining the exploit.
