ZKsync recovers $5M of stolen tokens after hacker accepts bounty offer
ZKsync has recovered $5.7 million worth of stolen ZK and ETH tokens after the hacker agreed to return 90% of the funds.
The ZKsync Association has confirmed the recovery of $5 million worth of stolen tokens from an April 15 ZKsync security incident involving its airdrop distribution contract.
The hacker agreed to accept a 10% bounty and return 90% of the remaining stolen tokens, transferring the ZKsync Security Council almost $5.7 million across three transfers on April 23.
“We’re pleased to share that the hacker has cooperated and returned the funds within the safe harbor deadline,” ZKsync Association posted to X on April 23, which was later reposted by ZKsync’s X account.
