A "poetic justice" story full of drama in the crypto world! 😅
Summary of the "blockbuster" event:
The zkLend hack (2/2023):
The hacker exploited a vulnerability, stealing 3,666 ETH (~9.5 million USD) from the lending protocol on Starknet.
After that, the hacker held onto the money for a while, perhaps waiting for the right moment to launder it.
The tragedy of money laundering (4/1/2024):
The hacker intended to use Tornado Cash (an anonymous mixer) to hide the source of the funds.
But… instead of going to the official site, the hacker mistakenly clicked on a phishing site pretending to be Tornado Cash!
Result: 2,930 ETH (~8.5 million USD at current prices) vanished immediately.
The hacker's tearful "letter":
The hacker admitted to being tricked, losing all the money and "deeply regretting" it.
The crypto community laughed to tears: "Karma is real!" – The one who deceives others was deceived.
Lessons from the incident:
✔ Hackers can easily become "prey": Even high-tech criminals can fall for phishing traps if they are not vigilant.
✔ Tornado Cash is still a "double-edged sword": Although sanctioned by the U.S. government, it is still mimicked by hackers to commit fraud.
✔ Crypto spares no one: Whether hacker or trader, just one careless moment can lead to total loss.
Community reactions:
"Serves them right! Hacking others and then getting hacked!"
"Could this be a self-directed exit scam?"
"Proof-of-Karma: Blockchain does not forgive the wicked."
Outcome: The incident is like a dark comedy showing that "the author of evil indeed meets evil." Can the hacker sue… the one who scammed them? 😆
