Security breach redirects rewards from 18 Ethereum validators, 17,000 validators exit voluntarily

A security incident linked to MetaMask caused block rewards from 18 of 19 affected Ethereum validators to be redirected to an address tied to Tornado Cash funding. Approximately 17,000 validators holding around 523,000 ETH voluntarily exited the network. The attacker obtained only about 0.36 ETH and likely could not withdraw the staked Ether. However, the method used to gain signing authority remains unknown, raising concerns about potential further manipulation if validator settings can be changed.

The MetaMask-related security incident involving Ethereum validators is the subject here.
