The hacker entity that stole over $230 million in user assets from Indian crypto exchange WazirX started to move funds using Tornado Cash early Tuesday, beginning a move that allows them to obfuscate the trail of funds.

The attacker moved nearly $4 million worth of ether (ETH) in 16 transactions on the Ethereum network, data tracked by Arkham shows, to a Tornado Cash router. The address holds over $155 million worth of various tokens - with a majority in ether at $150 million - and has previously not moved any funds to Tornado.
