The hack, which happened on July 18, caused a startling $234 million loss of customer cash, or 45%. WazirX has filed a request for relief from the Singapore High Court in reaction to the attack to find a solution for its users, who are demanding payment for their damages. 
The hacker’s usage of Tornado Cash exacerbates the problem by making it more difficult to locate and recover the stolen money.
