TechFlow News, June 26: Researcher Sergeyshemyakov posted that approximately eight hours ago, a suspicious governance proposal appeared on the Tornado Cash DAO. He noted that the target contract specified in the proposal remains unverified—a situation highly unusual compared to past Tornado Cash DAO proposals—and should therefore be regarded as potentially malicious. According to his analysis, if the proposal were to pass and execute, the governance contract would perform a delegatecall to the target contract, necessitating careful risk assessment.
Additionally, the address that created the proposal reportedly received funds via Railgun four days ago, further drawing external attention. The researcher emphasized that the Tornado Cash treasury itself has not been directly compromised; however, the proposal may aim to attack the Tornado Cash DAO’s governance system. The DAO currently holds approximately $23 million worth of TORN tokens.
