Victim of PPV2 incident requests return of 0.82 WETH stolen from wallet, offering 10% bounty.
Security & Exploits ·
A wallet holder has posted an onchain message requesting the return of 0.819639908675799090 WETH that was taken in what they identify as a PPV2 incident. The message, broadcast from the address -ice-.eth, offers the recipient 10% of the stolen amount as a bounty if the remaining 90% is returned to the originating wallet on mainnet.
The message represents a direct appeal to whoever controls the address holding the funds, using the Ethereum blockchain itself as the communication channel. This approach—posting recovery requests onchain rather than through traditional negotiation—has become a common tactic for victims seeking to reach the parties involved in exploits or theft incidents. The specific naming of "PPV2 incident" suggests a known vulnerability or attack vector, though the details of the underlying security failure remain unclear from the message alone.
It is not yet known whether the recipient has responded to the appeal or whether any portion of the funds will be returned. The success of such bounty offers depends entirely on whether the party holding the funds chooses to engage with the victim's terms.
