On-chain researcher Kaden said a MetaMask security incident appears to have redirected validator rewards away from their intended destination. According to Kaden, 18 out of 19 block reward payments earned by validators were not sent to the designated fee recipient. Instead, the funds were routed to an address backed by Tornado Cash funds. Kaden estimated that the attacker ultimately obtained about 0.36 ETH from those rewards. Kaden also said MetaMask has proactively exited roughly 17,000 validators tied to about 523,000 ETH. The remarks were published in a post linked in the source material. No additional details beyond those statements were provided in the input.
