Security & Exploits ·
An on-chain message posted from aavechan.eth offers a 10% whitehat bounty to an exploiter who drained two Safes in a single transaction. The offer grants the exploiter 11.41 ETH while requesting the return of 102.69 ETH to a specified address, with a deadline of October 3, 2026 at 18:00 UTC.
The message frames the arrangement as a conditional resolution: if the full amount is returned by the deadline, the incident will be treated as a whitehat rescue and closed. The owners indicated they will pursue other channels—including relevant parties—if the funds are not returned by that time.
It remains unclear whether the exploiter has engaged with this offer, whether the vulnerability has been publicly disclosed, or what method was used to drain the Safes. The extended deadline suggests the owners are attempting to recover the funds through negotiation before escalating further.
