The Heist Unfolds
The attack was swift and brutal, leaving zkLend scrambling to control the damage. In response, they’ve halted all withdrawals and sent a direct on-chain message to the hacker, offering a 10% bounty (360 ETH) if the funds are returned by February 14, 00:00 UTC.
zkLend Fights Back
Determined to turn the tables, the zkLend team is collaborating with top security firms and blockchain analysts to trace the stolen funds. Their bold bounty offer signals a willingness to negotiate, but will the hacker bite?
What’s Next?
This breach is a huge test for zkLend. If the hacker returns the funds, they might salvage their reputation. If not, it’s a long road ahead to rebuild trust and security.
The DeFi Wake-Up Call
