An onchain message from a Binance hack victim appeals to the attacker holding 195,460 ETH to send funds to ease their family's financial hardship.
Security & Exploits ·
An individual posted an onchain message directed at someone holding 195,460 ETH, allegedly tied to a Binance security incident. The message requests a transfer of 50 ETH or any available amount to address 0x34580f25a6655fcFfB36D289e7316fC18FF30703, framing the funds as relief for the sender's family hardship and a means to exit involvement in what the message describes as hacking activity.
The plea was transmitted as calldata embedded in an Ethereum mainnet transaction. The mechanism leverages the immutability and public visibility of the blockchain to reach the recipient without intermediaries, a tactic occasionally used when conventional communication channels are unavailable or untrusted. The specific ETH quantity cited (195,460) and the requested amount (50 ETH) anchor the appeal to concrete figures tied to the alleged holdings.
It remains unclear whether the sender's claims are accurate, whether the identified holder will respond, or what the actual origin of those funds may be. The effectiveness of such onchain appeals and their authenticity cannot be verified from the message alone.
