An attacker exploited a vulnerability in the decentralized finance platform Aperture Finance, successfully transferring approximately 590.7 Ethereum (ETH) valued at nearly $1.25 million to Tornado Cash, according to reports from Foresight News. This move aims to mix the funds through the privacy protocol, concealing the trail of the illicit transaction.
Aperture Finance had previously announced on social media that its smart contracts version V3 and V4 were compromised. The attack represents a new security incident in the DeFi ecosystem, where unidentified vulnerabilities in the code allow cybercriminals to access user and platform assets. The transfer via Tornado Cash reflects the typical pattern of cryptocurrency laundering in the sector.
