On May 22, Tornado Cash community member Tornadosaurus-Hex stated in the forum that the Tornado Cash attacker released a new proposal to restore governance, and it is likely to implement it. He gave his own TORN in the malicious proposal as lockedBalance-s, and reset it to 0. If the proposal passes, the malicious code the attackers integrated into the protocol would be removed, and token holders would regain control of Tornado Cash’s DAO governance. Tornadosaurus-Hex said he or someone else needs to come up with a proposal to update the governance contract. Tornadosaurus-Hex is ready to fix the logic, but needs to verify the storage layout so that agent upgrades don't break contracts. Given that the attackers hold TORN governance tokens, it appears the proposal will be passed when voting closes on May 26, but it is unclear when the action will be carried out. When the proposal passes, the malicious code that the attackers integrated into the protocol (allowing them to steal voting power from others) will be removed, and governance of Tornado Cash’s DAO will be returned to token holders.
