🔹 The theft:
The hacker exploited a vulnerability in Poly Network's smart contracts and took funds in ETH, USDC, and other cryptos.
🔹 The unexpected twist:
Instead of disappearing with the money, the hacker began to return the funds gradually. In messages within the transactions, he claimed he did it “for fun” and to teach a lesson about security.
🔹 The surprising ending:
After returning all the money, Poly Network offered him a position as a "security advisor," although it is unknown if he accepted. The community nicknamed him "Mr. White Hat," in reference to ethical hackers.
