🚨 Stole $3.8 million… then returned it all within less than 24 hours!
After NEAR Intents revealed the identity of the suspect and granted them a 48-hour deadline, the attacker returned the full funds and left a message on the blockchain admitting they were «in the wrong».
The team also thanked them for how they handled the retrieval process, and urged them to rely more on Bug Bounty vulnerability detection reward programs.
After restoring the full $3.8 million, $NEAR announced the investigation was halted.
An intriguing question: Was this a hack that ended in regret… or an unofficial $3.8 million Bug Bounty? 👀
