Nomad, the cross-chain crypto bridge that was hacked on August 2, 2022, lost $ 200 million in crypto money as a result of the hack.
The decline in Bitcoin and altcoins spurred the Nomad bridge hacker into action, and the hacker bought Ethereum with some of the money he stole.
According to Lookonchain's post, the hacker bought 16,892 ETH for 45 million DAI. In order not to give himself away, the hacker transferred these ETHs he received to Tornado Cash.
