The individual or group behind the hack still controls about $71 million worth of ether and DAI after suddenly emerging from dormancy on Saturday.

In the final hours of 2023, cross-chain bridge Orbit Chain, which holds strong ties to the Klaytn ecosystem, suffered a hack that drained $81.5 million from the protocol across several transactions.

It is unclear what motivated the hacker's return from dormancy. Orbit Chain, which has recently begun to resume offering certain bridging services following the exploit, noted in an announcement that the funds had been moved. The hacker moved about $48 million to a new wallet before sending the funds to Tornado Cash, blockchain data shows. The hacker remains in control of about $71 million in ether and DAI stablecoins due to the assets' appreciation in price since the attack took place.
