Tectonic exploit-linked wallet routes 2,659 ETH into Tornado Cash

  • Tectonic exploit-linked wallet sent approximately 2,658.9 ETH to Tornado Cash.
  • PeckShield tracked about $74 million across three addresses, including $6 million on Ethereum.
  • Cronos validators rolled back the chain after the Aug. 30 attack, excluding Ethereum funds.

A wallet linked to the Tectonic exploit sent approximately 2,658.9 ETH, worth $6.65 million, to Tornado Cash on Sept. 3, according to PeckShield. The funds were part of the amount that escaped a Cronos validator rollback after the Aug. 30 attack because they had already moved to Ethereum. PeckShield tracked about $74 million across three addresses, while TRM Labs and on-chain researcher Weilin Li put the total at about $75 million; a broader archive-node reconstruction produced a $119.5 million figure. The exploit manipulated the thinly traded TONIC token, whose price was increased roughly 100 times in 20 minutes before the attacker used it as collateral across nine lending protocols. Tectonic’s total value locked fell from about $121.7 million to $3 million. The Tornado Cash deposit matters beyond Cronos because the service remains the largest mixer on Ethereum-based networks, complicating efforts to trace or recover stolen funds.
