Poloniex siger, at hackerens identitet er bekræftet, tilbyder sidste dusør på $10 mio

Crypto exchange Poloniex recently posted a message to the hacker responsible for stealing over $100 million in digital assets from one of its wallets saying that they’ve identified the person and are giving the perpetrators a chance to return the assets in exchange for a $10 million bounty. 

En besked på kæden delt by blockchain security firm PeckShield on social media shows Poloniex’s message to the hacker. According to the exchange, they have already confirmed the hacker’s identity. The exchange further highlighted that they are working with various law enforcement agencies from the United States, Russia and China.

Furthermore, Poloniex mentioned that the stolen funds are already marked and cannot be used. Even though they’ve confirmed the hacker’s identity, the exchange still gave the hacker a chance to return the funds by Nov. 25 and get a $10 million white hat reward. However, if the funds are not returned, police forces will take action.

Selvom meddelelsen indikerer, at hackeren er identificeret, er nogle medlemmer af fællesskabet ikke overbevist om den nye udvikling. I et indlæg på X (tidligere Twitter), et community-medlem sagde at udvekslingen ikke behøver at involvere politiet i tre forskellige lande og sende den samme besked på 15 forskellige sprog, hvis hackeren allerede er identificeret.

The hack happened earlier this month when a crypto wallet belonging to Poloniex saw suspicious outflows. On Nov 10, various blockchain security firms determined that more than $100 million was drained from the exchange’s wallet. 

In response to the attack, Poloniex disabled the wallet for maintenance. In addition, the exchange also offered a 5% bounty for the return of the funds. On Nov. 15, the exchange genoptaget tilbagetrækninger after enlisting the help of a security auditing firm to enhance the security of the exchange.
