PeckShield disclosed that an attacker exploited a private key to steal $27.3 million in cryptocurrency. The perpetrator withdrew 1,000 ETH, valued at approximately $5 million, from the Aave protocol and laundered the funds through Tornado Cash. This follows earlier incidents, including a $2.3M USDT theft converted to ETH and laundered similarly, and multiple smaller-scale EVM chain thefts totalling about $107,000. The attacker’s identity remains unknown, and investigation is ongoing.
