Security & Exploits ·
An exploit victim posted an onchain message demanding return of 90% of drained assets to a specific Ethereum address by October 25, 2026, at 08:00 UTC. The message, transmitted from 0xB33b824349992fDB035Db86552AfeB135fDF79a4, warned against impersonators and stated that compliance would result in removal of malicious flags from the perpetrator's address.
The victim threatened criminal and civil action across multiple jurisdictions and claimed that major exchanges have already blacklisted addresses associated with the attacker. The message indicated that further fund movements are being tracked and documented, positioning exchange cooperation as a deterrent to asset movement or laundering.
The ultimatum leaves several details unspecified: the identity of the victim or affected protocol, the mechanism by which malicious flags would be removed, the basis for the 90% figure, and whether any prior communication or negotiation preceded this final demand. The deadline is approximately two years in the future, and no public confirmation exists that the targeted party has acknowledged or responded to the demand.
