Blockchain security firm PeckShield has reported a significant development in the aftermath of the GMX exploit. An address identified as belonging to the GMX attacker has returned $5.49 million worth of FRAX stablecoin to the GMX protocol. This partial return follows a substantial $42 million exploit that impacted GMX. Intriguingly, the presumed hacker seemingly signaled their intention to return the funds approximately an hour before the transaction occurred, communicating via a message embedded within a blockchain transaction. While the return of $5.49 million FRAX is a positive step, the majority of the stolen funds remain outstanding. The community is watching closely to see if further recovery efforts are made. ```
