Investigators suspect<\/a><\/strong> a former developer retained hidden admin access to exploit the system.<\/p>\n

The attacker used 1 ETH<\/a><\/strong> from Tornado Cash to fund their wallet before draining nearly $50 million in USDC through a pre-planned contract. The stolen funds were quickly converted to DAI and then over 17,000 ETH to evade asset freezes.<\/p>\n

Despite the breach, Infini did not halt withdrawals. Founder Christian Li assured users they would be reimbursed if necessary. Meanwhile, on-chain analyst ZachXBT linked the exploit to North Korea\u2019s Lazarus Group, known for previous exchange hacks.<\/p>\n
