In an alert, blockchain security firm CertiK flagged that a wallet address associated with the Nomad hack had transferred 1,200 ETH into Tornado Cash, implying that the attackers were cashing out. The hacker sent 12 batches of 100 ETH to the authorized mixer.
The Nomad bridge hack was one of the 10 largest crypto hacks in 2022, resulting in the loss of more than $190 million in digital assets. On August 1, hundreds of exploiters flocked to drain the bridge's whole value, which had been frozen in a matter of hours due to a security failure.
A survey released last year found that nearly 90% of the participants in the breach were copycats who stole $88 million in digital assets.
While many attackers participated in the vulnerability with malicious intent, others participated with the aim of returning the tokens. As a result, a project jumped at the opportunity to offer a non-fungible token incentive to people who chose to return stolen funds to Nomad.
In a recent update on December 8, the Nomad team released a bridge relaunch guide after addressing the contract vulnerability that led to the $190 million attack. Aside from addressing the concerns, the company also revamped the token bridge.
