Exploited Funds Returned
Gala Games has recovered approximately $22 million in Ether following a severe exploit on May 20. The breach involved an unidentified hacker minting 5 billion new GALA tokens through compromised internal controls. The attacker subsequently sold 600 million of these tokens on decentralized exchanges, acquiring nearly 6,000 ETH tokens in the process.
On May 21, the hacker’s wallet returned 5,913.2 ETH, valued at around $22.3 million, to a wallet controlled by Gala Games. Jason Brink, President of Blockchain at Gala Games, confirmed the transaction by sharing on-chain data showing the returned funds. The data indicated the address labeled as the Gala Games Exploiter had returned ETH worth approximately $22.37 million at current prices.
