Drift Exploit Trail Leads Through Backpack, Tornado Cash

SendAI developer aryan just dropped new details on the Drift Protocol hack. According to his X post, the attacker's address received funds through NEAR Intents eight days ago—but stayed quiet until pulling a large amount from Drift vaults.

From there, the attacker moved the funds to multiple laundering addresses. Notably, those laundering addresses were all funded yesterday via Backpack—a platform that likely ran KYC on those accounts. The funds were then bridged through Wormhole to an Ethereum address that had previously received money from Tornado Cash.
