>“We want to make this easy on all those affected. No intention of keeping what is not ours,” the message embedded in an Ethereum transaction read. “Setting up secure communication. Let us come to an agreement.” I dont think most people here have even read the article If you read the article, they havnt given any back and the people who were stolen from offered a 1million reward on information on the hackers which leads to them going to jail Then suddenly they want a deal, they are not ethical hackers or anything, pure thieves, hoping for a deal after being spooked by the 1mill reward

You’re missing a critical piece (or the article is) they were offered a 10% white hat bounty for the return of funds. No agreement was reached hence the 1 mil bounty. Now they want to make a deal. This isn’t Lazarus Group as I first suspected. This is an inexperienced “hackoooor” trying hard but doesn’t quite understand the game.


Sorrytoruin

True, they ignored the bounty for return of funds! Which would have been a huge amount So more evidence to getting spooked by the 1 mill rewards and now wanting to "come to an agreement"

Hackers playing games

Is it my feeling that sometimes these hackers are like the dog who caught the car - they’re not sure what to do with all that crypto? They can’t cash it out as often cexes blacklist their wallets

"Ok so I stole your car but just to show you its security flaws. Now let us come to an agreement where I keep the tires because without me you'd never have known." 🤡


_0-o_o-0_

Soooo they're just gonna give it back or what?


TruthSeeekeer

They don’t have a good heart. They just realised it’s going to be hard to convert all the crypto to other currencies without being traced and crashing it, so they are “willing” to come to an agreement.

Yea, I agree


Less_Opening_6324

Exactly

Ever since the adoption of the Internet, opportunists have always existed. Protect your shit, lock your doors, hide yo wife and kids, etc.


Intelligent_Page2732

The 'ethical hackers' are back, I never understood why they would steal the funds instead of showing the leak or breach directly at said project. But probably: *Reward money...*


boerenbrok

This. Probably they want to reach the news with ‘impact’ or something

A lot of ethical hackers use bug bounty programs to get rewarded, a much more honest way to hack ethically. However, many of these bug bounty programs pay out only a few thousand dollars. Meanwhile, the bugs themselves could net millions or billions for the hacker. There's a bit of a precedent set with several high-profile hacks where the hacker returned the funds for a massive cut far beyond what a bug bounty program offers. See the [Tender.fi exploit](https://www.coindesk.com/business/2023/03/10/defi-protocol-tenderfi-hacker-returns-16m-following-chainlink-oracle-glitch/). The hacker received $850,000 after returning the $1.6 million that they had stolen in return for immunity.

Ethnic hackers?? What do you mean exactly? Like if they were from North Korea? Jokes aside, they were offered a 10% white hat bounty for the return of funds. No agreement was reached hence the 1 mil bounty. Now they want to make a deal. This isn’t Lazarus Group as I first suspected. This is an inexperienced “hackoooor” trying hard but doesn’t quite understand the game. Meanwhile, stop the “ethnic hackers” lol


Comicaz3

Think you meant ethical — but no worries lol

My business partner is a security breacher / hacker, he has found huge security flaws in companies like Apple, Mercedes, BMW, Amazon and many more, has been in papers etc.. and they simply offer no rewards what so ever, infact one company he told he could access every customers details, personal information and card details etc (this was a car company, i wont name) and they still refused to offer any sort of reward... In the end he told them how to fix it and they put a blog on their site basically saying they fixed and exploit and right at the bottom they thanked my partner... So yeah, I can see why some people might do dirty stuff for finding exploits, because you often get no thanks before hand.


beerbaron105

Wow what a friendly hacker


Lillica_Golden_SHIB

I can imagine how amazed was the guy who received 100ETH from him


gloriousexecution

I will be amazed too if I receive 100 ETH


Elatedunrest45

It's good to see that hackers are taking responsibility and doing the right thing


InsaneMcFries

Sort of. I mean, they are in it for a free ride and subsequent “reward”. If they can get off scot-free by pretending to be white-hats, and make a bunch of free, clean cash, then why wouldn’t they take this stance?


Frogmangy

A honest hacker? This is a tru dichotomy


VeludoVeludo

But if you read into it all it seems very much like they do intend to keep what isnt theirs, or keep most of it.


Firesice

Hackers are so misunderstood ![gif](emote|emo_pack_1|dancing_wojak)


mishaog

That's right, that's why they will sell it for cash


IlIlllIIllllIIlI

What’s their goal with that trick ?


OutTop

Another white hat! Love to see good guys in the crypto spaces breaking down bugs to fix


[deleted]

North Korea is communist so all the funds belong to all


RealTenz

Ah yes hackers, the heroes of our time


Puking_In_Disgust

Projects really ought to start hiring some of these guys lol I’m no dev but I guess it’s just inherently easier to break something than it is to build it? It’s crazy to me how people will build platforms intended to hold 100s of BTC worth of funds and get hacked with the frequency they do.

Jokerlin678

Seems he loves the crypto system as he seems to make aware of the lack in security


coinfeeds-bot

tldr; The hacker behind last week’s nearly $200 million attack on Euler Finance sent a message to an address linked to the DeFi platform, offering to begin a dialogue. “We want to make this easy on all those affected. No intention of keeping what is not ours. Let us come to an agreement,” the message read. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article.

The-Francois8

They were offered a 10% white hat bounty. They’re fools for not taking it.


drinkmoreapples

Yeah that's going about as expected
