The hacker who became famous for a $320 million scam from the Wormhole bridge in 2022 was initially eligible to win a $50,000 splash in newly launched W tokens. A pseudonymous researcher named Pland claimed that the Wormhole team forgot to leave out a number of wallet addresses linked to a scam that allowed hackers to steal $321 million worth of cryptocurrency from the cross-chain bridge in 2022.
If the hacker had decided to claim the right to show off, they would be eligible for approximately 31,642 Wormhole (W) tokens, which equates to a value of approximately $50,000 at current prices. However, Cointelegraph independently checked the wallet addresses on airdrop.link and found that they were no longer available, suggesting that the Wormhole team may have already filled the gap.
All four eligible wallet addresses identified as being linked to the 2022 Wormhole scam were flagged by Solana block explorer Solana.fm. The Wormhole bridge was exploited for a staggering $321 million in February 2022, making it one of the biggest scams in the history of the crypto industry.
However, in February 2023, Web3 infrastructure firm Jump Crypto and decentralized finance (DeFi) platform Oasis.app carried out a 'counter-trick' against the Wormhole protocol hacker. The two firms successfully managed to recover a total of $225 million in digital assets from the wormhole cheater and returned them to secure wallets.
On April 3, Wormhole announced that it would be airing more than 675 million of its new Wormhole (W) tokens — worth about $850 million at current prices — to eligible users. What do you think about this? Leave your comments below.#Wormhole #Blockchain #CryptoNews🚀🔥V #Memecoins #BinanceLaunchpool
