The blockchain security firm Salus has detected that a hacker linked to the Triple-A breach has moved 4,970 ETH (around $12.4 million) into Tornado Cash. This transfer comes after the hacker stole assets from Triple-A's treasury in July, which they estimated to be worth about $11.8 million.

On October 9, they consolidated the funds into a single wallet, executing a total of 56 transactions. These included 49 transfers of 100 ETH and 7 transfers of 10 ETH into Tornado Cash, with one flow also containing previously mixed withdrawals.
