The first group, which totals $20.7 million in equivalent, is already sent to various centralized exchanges. Namely, hackers are attempting to sell their loot on FTX and Huobi, two heavyweight CEXes.
Then, almost $90 million in equivalent were transferred to Tornado Cash, the most popular mixer service utilized to obfuscate the history of crypto tokens.
The vast majority of crypto obtained by a hacker is still stored on its account: $459 million in equivalent are dormant as of today, April 14, 2022.

The net sum of losses eclipsed $625 million. To prevent this from happening again, Sky Mavis, the company behind Axie Infinity (AXS) and its sidechain Ronin Network (RON), launched an unprecedented $1 million bug bounty campaign.
The attackers are sending Ethers to Tornado every day; they are divided into 1,000-3,000 Ether portions.
