The cyber attacker who looted millions from GMX’s V1 GLP -Pool earlier this week has become a new leaf and the stolen funds are now back.
According to movements in chains marked by Peckshield Alert, the GMX hacker has returned to the stolen assets to the protocol for a total of $ 37.5 million. Made in various transfers from ETH and Frax around 8:00 AM UTC, the total to date sent represents almost 90% of the $ 42 million that was emptied only two days ago in the original exploit.
The reimbursement follows on the public offer of GMX of a premium of 10% for the safe return of funds, with a deadline of 48 hours and a promise not to take legal action.
“OK, funds will be returned later,” De Hacker wrote in response via a message on the chains before it followed the transfer of the fund.
The indigenous token GMX (GMX) rose by 16% on development, and recovered modests of the decrease of 28% that suffered in the immediate aftermath of the exploit. Although GMX still has to be confirmed to receive the receipt, the protocol thanked the Hacker on-Chain.
“Thank you, we greatly appreciate this,” the team written.
It remains unclear whether the attacker is planning to return the remaining funds of the exploit, estimated at around $ 4.5 million.
The GMX -HACK is one of the largest industry exploits this year. Other controversial victims include Bybit, who performed a hack of $ 1.4 billion suffering by the notorious North Korean Hackergroep Lazarus, and Cetus Protocol, which was removed for $ 223 million.
Just like GMX, Bybit also offered a premium of 10% to restore the funds. However, none of the stolen assets must reclaim.
