Ethereum from the Drift hack: the attacker moves up to $61 million into Tornado Cash

The proceeds of the attack on Drift Protocol are moving again. On October 20, 2026, wallets that observers attribute to the attacker forwarded a large part of the stolen ether to the Tornado Cash mixer, after the addresses had lain still for around two months. Figures for the sum diverge and range between $32 million and $61.6 million. For European investors this is no distant piece of news: laundered ether ends up on the open market, and accepting it unknowingly risks a frozen deposit.
