A 👽 hacker who stole nearly 💵$5 million worth of crypto from the $ETH Ethereum Layer-2 project ZKsync 🤡 has returned the money after being offered a 10% 💰reward to do so. The hack targeted a flaw in ZKsync’s airdrop system, where users were supposed to receive free tokens. Luckily, no regular users lost any money. ZKsync gave the hacker 72 hours to return the stolen funds or face legal action. The hacker agreed and sent back most of the money. The returned funds are now being held by ZKsync’s security team, who will decide what happens next.
This event is just one of many hacks hitting the crypto world lately. In the first few months of 2025 alone, hackers have stolen over $1.6 billion worth of crypto, with Ethereum being the biggest target. Most of these attacks come from stealing secret keys, and sadly, very little of the stolen money has been recovered. In fact, this ZKsync case is one of the rare times that money has been returned. Most of the time, once crypto is stolen, it’s gone for good.
After the hack, the price of ZKsync’s token $ZK dropped slightly, but it’s started to bounce back. The team at ZKsync says they’ll release a full report soon explaining what happened and how they’ll prevent it in the future. This situation shows how serious crypto security needs to be—and how offering rewards might be a smart way to get stolen funds back.
