After negotiations with the GMX security team, the hacker agreed to return crypto acts in the amount of $ 37.5 million, leaving himself about 900 ETH ($ 3 million) as a “reward for identifying vulnerabilities”.
GMX does not disclose the details of negotiations, however, as reports Hash Telegraph, a message sent to the Hacker wallet on the Arbitrum network, contained a proposal to return 90% of the funds and legalize the remaining 10% without criminal prosecution.
“We publish this message in the hope of contacting the exploit of GMX V1. You have successfully implemented exploit; Your abilities for this are obvious to anyone who studies transactions associated with exploit. The prize for detecting a vulnerability paid by “white” hackers at the expense of the project’s treasury is still available ”- reported The GMX team in the social network X.
The hacker agreed to the proposed conditions and began the return of funds, which led to a short -term growth of GMX token by 14% – up to $ 13.15.
Experting Director of Elliptic Tom Robinson (Tom Robinson) declaredthat “the transparency of the blockchain makes it difficult to launder digital assets, which often forces hackers to voluntarily return the stolen cryptocurrencies.”
Previously, a hacker, which stole crypto acts of $ 5 million from a second -level blockchain for scaling the ZKSYNC Ethereum network, returned 90% of the stolen funds for a 10% reward.
