The hacker behind the $47 million heist from KyberSwap ($KNC) has hinted at a possible deal with the victims. 🕵️
The anonymous cyber bandit, who made headlines last week for the massive exploit, embedded a message in an $ETH transaction on November 28. They promised to unveil details about a “treaty” by November 30.
The hacker’s message conveyed a willingness to negotiate but lamented the hostile reception from KyberSwap’s executive team. Despite the tension, they left the door open for rescheduling the announcement if treated with more civility. Otherwise, they plan to proceed as initially scheduled. 🗓️
This development follows the alarming incident where KyberSwap’s Elastic Pools liquidity solution was drained of $47 million. In response, KyberSwap urged users to withdraw their funds and later announced a 10% bounty for the perpetrator. Interestingly, the hacker had already signaled a readiness to negotiate after a period of rest, leaving a breadcrumb in blockchain data.
As of the latest updates, KyberSwap has managed to claw back $4.7 million of the stolen funds. 🫳
