🚨 $320M Bitcoin exploit… and the “hacker” says they’re the good guys?! 👀
~4,000 BTC was pulled from the Liquid Network’s federation wallet — roughly 95% of its reported BTC reserves. Liquid paused activity while Blockstream investigated.
Then things got WILD. 🫣
The attackers communicated through Bitcoin on-chain messages, claiming they were white hats and demanding: fix the vulnerability + patch every node first. Only then would they return the BTC.
And now? 🔥
3,400 BTC has reportedly been returned.
But ~598.5 BTC — around $47M — remains with them, apparently as a “reward.”
White hats… or the most expensive bug bounty ever? 👁️🗨️💀
Crypto never sleeps. 🚨₿
