The DeFi Poly Network was successfully attacked in the first half of August, resulting in the theft of $ 611 million worth of crypto assets from Binance Smart Chain, Ethereum, and Polygon. Due to the size of the hack, which could become one of the largest in the history of cryptocurrencies, the incident has riveted the attention of the community. Interest in the attack began to grow due to the hacker’s behavior after the incident.
The hacker said he could have stolen more, but is not interested in shitcoins. He said that he had little interest in money, and was ready to return the stolen goods. During the first days after the hack, the hacker returned most of the stolen tokens. In addition, within the framework of several transactions, the hacker answered questions from journalists and developers. According to him, he is engaged in hacking out of interest and does not pursue financial gain. When hacking the Poly Network, he decided to move the tokens in order to “keep them for users.”
Poly Network developers did not miss the opportunity to stir up attention to the project and offered the hacker the position of chief security advisor and a reward of $ 500,000. Despite the fact that the hacker refused the remuneration, the developers transferred money to his address. Whether he accepted the job offer is unknown, but judging by his previous actions, this is unlikely.
