Attacker of Tornado Cash releases new proposal for recovery governance, and their true motives are still unclear.
BlockBeats news on May 22nd: Tornadosaurus-Hex, a member of the Tornado Cash community, announced on the forum that the Tornado Cash attacker has proposed a new recovery governance proposal and "is very likely to execute it". In the malicious proposal, the attacker designated their own TORN as "lockedBalance-s" and reset it to 0. It is currently unclear what the attacker's true motives are.
If the proposal is approved, the malicious code integrated into the protocol by the attacker will be removed, and token holders will regain control of Tornado Cash's DAO governance. Tornadosaurus-Hex stated that he or someone else needs to propose an update to the governance contract. Tornadosaurus-Hex is ready to fix the logic, but needs to verify the storage layout to ensure that the proxy upgrade will not break the contract. Tornadosaurus-Hex also stated that "we know we have no choice with this proposal, but it is still important."
