The definition of a cryptocurrency is a digital asset containing cryptographic protocols that make transactions secure and immutable. Cryptocurrencies are built on top of distributed ledger technology, blockchain — which allows it to be decentralized and immune to government control and interference. Transactions involving cryptocurrencies involve public and private keys, enabling minimal processing fees, allowing users to be able to make transfers without traditional third-party institutions.

Suspected Hackers Move Stolen Funds to Sanctioned Crypto Mixer

The suspected hackers behind the $6 million exploit of Lendhub have moved more than half of their ill-gotten gains to the sanctioned crypto mixer Tornado Cash. The on-chain intelligence firm Beosin reported that a total of 3,515.4 ETH, currently worth over $5.7 million, has been sent to Tornado Cash by the exploiter since Jan. 13. Tornado Cash attempts to anonymize Ethereum transactions, and was sanctioned by the US Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) for its alleged role in the laundering of crime proceeds.
