On May 23, Cetus officially updated the latest progress regarding this security incident on social media. The team stated that after the incident, they have collaborated with a broader range of ecosystem partners, the Sui team, and third-party organizations to conduct vulnerability analysis and fund tracking, successfully marking the hackers' related accounts.
Currently, Cetus has identified the root cause of the vulnerability and repaired the affected software packages. Meanwhile, with the support of ecosystem members, the team quickly issued alerts to other project parties to mitigate potential risks. Additionally, Cetus has hired a professional anti-cybercrime organization to assist with fund tracking and is negotiating with hackers for the return of the funds. Officials revealed that they have contacted law enforcement and plan to seek further support.
It is noteworthy that Cetus has locked the Ethereum wallet address controlled by the hackers and proactively proposed to negotiate a solution in the form of a 'white hat bounty.' The team promises that if the hackers return the stolen funds within a specified timeframe, they will not pursue legal responsibility. This initiative aims to maximize the security of user assets while bringing closure to the incident.
Cetus emphasizes that the platform will continue to strengthen security protections and calls on ecosystem projects to jointly enhance their defensive capabilities to prevent similar incidents from occurring again.#Cetus #SUI🔥
