Hackers have now returned more than half of the $610m (£517m) they stole in one of the biggest ever cryptocurrency heists.
Poly Network, a platform that facilitates peer-to-peer transactions, said it has recovered $342m (£247m) – but $268m (£194m) is still missing.
The decentralised finance platform posted details of digital wallets to which it said the money was transferred and urged people to blacklist tokens from those addresses.
A person claiming to be the hacker said they did it “for fun” and wanted to “expose the vulnerability” before others could exploit it, according to digital messages shared by Elliptic, a crypto tracking firm, and Chainalysis.
