<p>The stolen funds from the founder’s wallet were deposited in three different Ethereum wallets. The usage of Tornado Cash and other similar crypto mixers is surging in the crypto market.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Hackers use a crypto mixer to eradicate the origin and destination of the crypto token or coins stolen from different accounts.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Webacy, the wallet monitoring firm, reported nearly an hour ago that a whale wallet on Ronin Bridge was hacked. The post noted, “At least three wallets were linked and pre-funded with 0.1 ETH from Tornado. All of them withdrew a total of $3250 ETH from the Ronin Network bridge at similar time frames.”</p>

<p>According to available data, Ronin Bridge hacks are among the most destructive attacks in the industry; bad actors wiped out over $600 Million worth of cryptocurrencies.
