Widely used coin mixing service Tornado Cash says it will block ETH addresses linked to North Korean hackers and other sanctioned addresses.
According to Tornado Cash, ETH addresses sankcijos by the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) will be užblokuotas from being able to access the service using a tool from blockchain intelligence firm Chainalysis.
“Tornado Cash uses Chainalysis oracle contract to block OFAC sanctioned addresses from accessing the DApp. Maintaining financial privacy is essential to preserving our freedom, however, it should not come at the cost of non-compliance.”
Coin mixing services like Tornado Cash obfuscate transactions by breaking the on-chain link between the sender and the recipients and are often used by hackers to make stolen funds untraceable.
Ronin, an Ethereum-linked sidechain built specifically for blockchain-based Axie Infinity (AXS), was hacked to the tune of $600 million in March by North Korean hackers known as the Lazarus Group.
It was exploited for about $574.5 million worth of ETH and $25.5 million worth of stablecoin USD Coin (UDSC), $80 million of which perduotas to Tornado Cash.
Previously, Tornado Cash co-founder Roman Semenov sakė, Bloomberg that sanctioning addresses would be a technical impossibility and that sanctions couldn’t be enforced onto decentralized platforms.
“We don’t have more access to it than any other users. There’s not much we can do.”
Semenov recently took to Twitter to pasakyti his followers that “smart contracts are immutable” and that the tools that the service would be using to block addresses would only be used on the front end of Tornado Cash.
