The exploiter made three transfers of 100 ETH each, for a total of 300 ETH, worth $755.1K. These transactions went through Tornado Cash, suggesting an attempt to hide where these funds came from and where they are going.
This was not the first time the WazirX Exploiter had moved Ethereum. On July 22, 2024, it transferred 16,345 ETH, worth $56.88 million, to two new wallets, known as “0x58d” and “0x668.” Even after these transfers, the exploiter still had 43,962 ETH, worth $153 million, in different wallets.

The other 43,799 ETH, worth $149 million, came from selling off various assets, mainly 5.43 trillion SHIB ($90.2 million), 20.5 million MATIC ($10.2 million), and 640.27 billion PEPE ($7.48 million).
Another report from Coin Edition mentioned that the WazirX Exploiter first got noticed on July 18, 2024, when it took advantage of the Indian crypto exchange WazirX, stealing about $230 million in different assets.
