Hacker Returns Stolen Millions

May 06 2025 crypto


A crypto hacker just returned millions in stolen funds - but kept a hefty tip for their trouble.

After draining nearly $5 million from ZKsync's airdrop contract, the attacker accepted a 10% bounty offer and returned the remaining 90% before the 72-hour deadline expired.

The recovered assets - over 44.6 million ZK tokens and nearly 1,800 ETH - are now safely under the ZKsync Security Council's control.
