In early August, an exploit was discovered in the cross-chain bridge Nomad. Many users were able to steal more than $150 million in total. One of these users started transferring stolen assets to the Tornado Cash crypto mixer, which allows you to muddle your tracks. Tornado Cash is now under sanctions.

Withdrawal of funds to Tornado Cash from a wallet associated with Nomad exploit was noticed by CertiK Alert, a company engaged in monitoring various hacks in real time.
