White Hat Hacker Retrieves $5.4M for Curve Finance

An ethical hacker seized on July 30 almost 3,000 ETH, worth approximately $5.4 million, from a malicious hacker exploiting the recent hack of the decentralized finance (DeFi) protocol Curve Finance.

The funds were then returned to the Curve deployer address, making them available to the rightful custodian.

Twitter accounts impersonating Curve Finance and hack victims are however, still promoting a fake refund scheme to those who have lost funds in the attack.

Additionally, further losses of $73,000 have also been incurred across three copycat attacks on BNB Smart Chain due to the Vyper vulnerability.
