Exploit victim posts onchain plea for 80% asset recovery to hacker address.
Security & Exploits ·
A wallet owner whose assets were stolen posted an onchain message to the address holding the stolen funds, offering the attacker a 20% bounty in exchange for returning the remaining 80%. The victim stated they accumulated the assets through years of daily on-chain trading and that the sum represents significant personal savings, requesting the return of their funds to a specified recovery address.
The message was transmitted as an onchain communication on Ethereum mainnet, encoding the plea in both English and Mandarin Chinese. The transaction records show the message sent from one address to another, with the victim providing explicit coordinates for fund recovery and pledging not to pursue further action if the assets are returned.
It remains unclear whether the attacker has responded to the proposal, what assets were compromised in the original exploit, or the current status of the stolen funds. No information has been disclosed about the attack vector or timeline of the compromise.
