The big news was US sanctions on Tornado Cash, a crypto mixing service. All addresses linked to it were blacklisted. A software developer for TC was arrested. And someone or a group of people sent 0.1 eth from a blacklisted address(es) to numerous wallets, effectively getting those (legitimate) wallets blacklisted in the process. That’s the downside of contract wallets- only one address. Note this as a threat vector, and remember that. See the details in the tweets of the week.
