HTX Exchange Reclaims $8M in ETH Stolen in Hack Attack
Huobi Global‘s HTX crypto exchange has confirmed a refund of the funds stolen in September. The total sum of the refund has amounted to $8.2 million worth 4,999 Ethereum (ETH). Seems that the company has negotiated with the hacker, and as a result of the talks, the hacker made “the right choice” agreeing to give back the funds stolen. Notably, HTX has offered a 5% white-hat incentive, or a remuneration of 250 ETH to the hacker for restoring the funds.
HTX advisor Justin Sun took to the X platform to share the news.
We have confirmed that the hacker has fully returned all funds, as promised, and we have also paid the hack a white hat bonus of 250 ETH. The hacker made the right choice. We would like to express our gratitude to everyone in the industry for their help!
