Limit Break Payment Processor exploit resulted in WETH losses; white-hat actor claims to have recovered funds and offers 85-90% return with optional bounty.
Security & Exploits ·
An onchain message sent from address 0xbfa8d986363e225ea10d43a8838280bc2466a68e claims to hold WETH funds lost in a recent Limit Break Payment Processor exploit. The sender states it intercepted one of the attacker's transactions and now offers to return the assets at either 90% or 85% of the original amount, with the lower figure including an optional 5% bounty.
The recovery process requires affected users to revoke their WETH allowance to a specified address and send an onchain message from their original account identifying their preferred return address. The 90% return assumes approximately 10% in MEV and execution costs, while the 85% option provides a discretionary bounty mechanism.
No independent verification of the claims has been established. It remains unclear whether the sender is operating legitimately as a white-hat actor, the extent of funds actually held, or whether users following the recovery instructions face additional risk.
