Finally, the hacker behind the biggest cryptocurrency heist ever released the last installment of the stolen funds, all estimated at around $ 600 million.

Poly Network, a platform in the digital finance arena, was the subject of a major attack on the 10th of this month, which saw the hacker (s) steal digital currencies worth more than $ 600 million. dollars.

The hackers (it is not known if this was a single person or a group) attacked Poly Network, a company specializing in cryptocurrency transfers, in one of the biggest thefts of digital history money. But by the 12th of the same month, they had returned almost all of the funds stolen in a slow series of transactions.

The thieves exploited a loophole in Poly Network’s code that allowed them to transfer funds to their own accounts, according to CNBC.

In a strange twist, the Poly Network hacker didn’t get away and instead opened up a dialogue with the target, promising to return all the money.

Granted, the hacker returned almost all of the money except for the $ 33 million pegged currency which was frozen by its issuers last week.

It was a valuable hold, and yet more than $ 200 million in assets were stuck in an account that required passwords from both Poly Network and the hacker.

Poly Network brought in a hacker he calls a “white hat” hacker to return the remaining funds.

The platform promised to give the unidentified person a reward of $ 500,000 for helping them identify a flaw in their security systems, and even offered him a position as a “senior security adviser.”

Currently, the hacker has finally given Poly Network access to the latest batch of stolen funds.

The company said the “white hat” hacker shared the so-called private key needed to regain control of the remaining assets, from the stolen amount.
