Cetus of $SUI offers a reward of 6 million dollars after a 260 million dollar attack
After the $260 million cryptocurrency hack, the Cetus Protocol announced an urgent deal offer to the hacker to try to recover the stolen funds. In their latest post on X, the team wrote:
"We have identified the Ethereum wallet address controlled by the hacker responsible for today's exploit and have contacted the client to negotiate the return of the funds."
In detail, Cetus and Inca Digital sent a message to the hacker, offering a white hat deal of 6 million dollars. According to the agreement, if the hacker returned the 20,920 ETH (valued at about 56.3 million dollars) and the frozen funds in the Sui wallets, they could keep 2,324 ETH (approximately 6 million dollars) as a reward. If accepted, the platform will consider the matter closed and refrain from taking legal or public action. However, if the stolen assets are transferred or mixed, legal proceedings will be initiated.
