The Ethereum address associated with the DAOMaker protocol exploit was laundered about 500,000 in DAI stablecoins. This was independently reported by PeckShield and CertiK experts.

“PeckShield has determined that an address tagged as a DAOMaker hacker transferred 500,000 DAI to Tornado Cash,” the company wrote.

In August 2021, an unknown person attacked the DAOMaker platform and illegally withdrew more than $7 million USDC stablecoins.

A year later, the mixing service Tornado Cash was placed on the U.S. Treasury’s sanctions list. The agency suspects the platform has laundered about $7 billion since 2017. Of these, more than $455 million has been associated with North Korean hackers.

Recall that Chainalysis said they helped recover more than $30 million in cryptocurrency from the $625 million Ronin sidechain stolen during the March hack.

The ₿liteZero researcher from SlowMist also confirmed that the attackers used Tornado Cash to launder funds stolen from the Axie Infinity game’s network.
