Tornado Cash Fishing Loss: 1,010 ETH or 810 ETH?

Overview

Coinfomania and crypto.news disagree on the amount of Tornado Cash-related ETH phishing losses and whether the project's domain name was hijacked.

Agreed content

An Ethereum user reported losing funds in an incident related to the Tornado Cash website/domain name.

The incident was originally disclosed through a community report, with Coinfomania citing WuBlockchain reports and crypto.news citing "community accounts."

The reported incident occurred around August 18, 2026.

Report divergence points

1. Total loss amount

Coinfomania (2026-08-20 11:59): A user lost more than 1,010 ETH in a phishing attack through an expired official Tornado Cash domain name.

crypto.news (2026-08-20 12:18): On-chain records confirm that an Ethereum address received 810 ETH through nine transfers on August 18.

Workaround: Conduct a full online trace of all wallets associated with reported phishing incidents, or confirm the total amount lost by the victim/Tornado Cash.

2. Whether the Tornado Cash domain name was hijacked

Coinfomania (2026-08-20 11:59): The attack occurred after the official domain name tornado.cash expired and was hijacked by fraudsters.

crypto.news (2026-08-20 12:18): The Tornado Cash website was accessible at the time of inspection, so the so-called domain name hijacking has not yet been officially confirmed.

Solution: The domain name registration record (WHOIS history) shows whether tornado.cash has expired and changed ownership, or an official statement from the Tornado Cash team.

Conclusion

only regards the core report-that an Ethereum user lost funds due to a Tornado Cash-related phishing incident around August 18, 2026-as a confirmed fact; the exact total amount of ETH and the claim that the domain name was hijacked remain controversial and should not be repeated as a fact until it is traced on the chain or confirmed by the domain name record.
