Magic Eden victim lost 1.34 ETH in exploit and publicly appeals to attacker for partial fund recovery.
Security & Exploits ·
A user who identified themselves as a victim of an exploit affecting Magic Eden posted an onchain message appealing to the attacker for a partial recovery of stolen funds. The user stated they lost 1.34 wrapped ETH and proposed returning 70 percent of the amount while allowing the attacker to retain 30 percent as a "white hat" arrangement. The appeal was posted from an Ethereum address with a linked transaction hash provided as evidence of the drain.
Magic Eden, an NFT marketplace, experienced an exploit that resulted in multiple victims having funds drained. The mechanism and scope of the vulnerability remain unclear from the message, though the appeal suggests assets were directly removed from user wallets or accounts. Whether the attacker was a single actor or coordinated group is not specified.
It is not yet known whether the attacker has responded to any recovery proposals, whether other victims have made similar appeals, or what the total loss from the exploit may be. The status of Magic Eden's response and any remediation efforts are also absent from the available information.
