TechFlow, April 1 — According to an official statement released by zkLend, hackers attempting to launder 2,930 stolen ETH through the mixing protocol Tornado Cash were themselves scammed after accessing a phishing website, resulting in the funds being stolen by a third party.
The phishing website has reportedly been operational for over five years, and security teams have so far found no connection between the site and the hackers. Since last night, large-scale fund transfers have occurred from wallet addresses controlled by the hackers. The zkLend team is actively monitoring the situation in real time with security partners and remains in contact with centralized exchanges and relevant authorities to continue tracking the funds.
Previous report, the zkLend hacker lost 2,930 ETH after clicking on a phishing website. Following the incident, the hacker issued an on-chain message urging the project team to track down the operator of the phishing site to recover the funds.
