Whitehat actor claims to have rescued $2M in option tokens from Thetanut and is requesting contact with admin to return funds.
Security & Exploits ·
An individual claiming to operate as a whitehat security researcher posted an onchain message stating they had recovered $2M in option tokens from Thetanut and requested contact information for the project's admin to facilitate the return of funds. The message was transmitted via a transaction on Ethereum mainnet between two wallet addresses.
The claim describes the action as a "whitehat attack," a term typically used by security researchers to describe unauthorized access conducted to identify vulnerabilities rather than cause harm. The message explicitly requests that Thetanut administrators reach out to enable safe fund recovery, suggesting the actor does not currently possess direct communication channels with the project.
The authenticity of the claim remains unverified, including whether the funds were actually at risk, whether the recovery was executed without authorization, and whether contact has since been established between the claiming party and Thetanut officials. No independent confirmation from Thetanut or security auditors has been published.
