Samudai Hack
What happened
Samudai DAO wallet compromise led to a loss of assets worth approximately $1,286,349 with funds laundered through Tornado Cash.
Samudai, a Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO), was exploited on November 10, 2023, presumably due to a compromise of their wallet access control. Both the multisignature wallet addresses of the protocol and the wallet of their founder appear to have been compromised, which led to a loss of 521.34 ETH in total. The stolen assets were all converted into ETH and then laundered into Tornado Cash.
A part of the stolen funds, worth 21.34 ETH (amounting to $52,680), was deposited at eXch exchange through several addresses. The founder has issued an on-chain message offering a 10% bounty for returning funds.
