The hacker behind the $190M exploit on the DeFi protocol Nomad (2022) has been arrested in Israel.

Identified as Alexander Gurevich, a dual Russian-Israeli national, he allegedly tried to flee the country using a fake ID under the name Alexander Blok just a day after it was issued.

The U.S. Department of Justice is now pursuing his extradition. If convicted, Gurevich could face up to 20 years in prison.
