The governance tokenholders of Tornado Cash will soon regain control over the protocol’s operations, thanks to an unexpected proposal put forward by the attacker. This development allows the community to regain authority and steer the protocol toward recovery and improved security measures.

Am Mai 26, dem Angebot to restore control to the original governance tokenholders of Tornado Cash passed successfully. A total of 517,000 token votes favored the proposal, with none opposing it. This resolution brings a swift conclusion to a governance takeover that, fortunately, did not impact the protocol itself, but did lead to the theft of specific governance tokens.

By successfully orchestrating a takeover of the protocol’s governance system, the attacker maneuvered a malicious proposal that granted them 1.2 million votes. Leveraging this significant voting power, they passed additional proposals, ultimately seizing control over previously vested governance tokens. Their tactics allowed them to manipulate the governance structure, resulting in a transfer of authority in their favor.

In a surprising turn of events, just a few hours after the hack, the attacker unexpectedly contacted the Tornado Cash community, presenting a proposal purportedly aimed at restoring governance control. This unexpected gesture surprised many, raising curiosity and prompting further scrutiny of the attacker’s intentions and motivations.

Wie Martin Lee, ein Datenjournalist der Krypto-Analyseseite Nansen, berichtet, gelang es dem Angreifer stehlen 483,000 Tornado Cash (TORN) tokens. Subsequently, they conducted a series of swaps, converting the majority of the stolen tokens into 485 Ether (ETH), worth approximately $890,000. This strategic maneuver left them with 39,000 TORN, valued at around $160,000. To obfuscate the origin of the funds, a portion of the ETH was cleverly routed through Tornado Cash, adding an additional layer of anonymity to the transaction.
