Hacker Loses Stolen $5.4M ETH to Another Thief
a #Hacker who stole 2,930 ETH ($5.4M) from zkLend ended up getting scammed himself. While attempting to launder the stolen funds through Tornado Cash, he unknowingly used a phishing website—and lost everything.
In his final, desperate message, he #admitted defeat:
"Hello, I tried to move funds to Tornado but I used a phishing website, and all the funds have been lost. I am devastated. I am terribly sorry for all the havoc and losses caused. Please redirect your efforts toward those site owners to see if you can recover some of the money. This will be my last message. It’s better to end this all. Again, I am sorry."
A textbook case instant justice—one thief outplayed by another.
