BNB Smart Chain Hack: GANA Payment Loses Over $3 Million

Blockchain investigator ZachXBT reports that GANA Payment, a project on the BNB Smart Chain, suffered a security breach resulting in over $3.1 million theft. The attacker employed complex laundering techniques using Tornado Cash, moving funds across both the BSC and Ethereum blockchains. 0x2e8…e5c38, a BSC address controlled by the attacker, acted as a central point for the stolen assets. From there, it was converted into BNB to facilitate easy fund transfer. After initial deposits into Tornado Cash on BSC, the remaining funds were moved to Ethereum. The cross-chain approach makes investigations difficult due to the added layers of complexity and privacy.
