ZKSync Hacker Returns $5 Million in Stolen Assets After Accepting 10% Bounty

In a cooperative effort, the hacker returned significant funds stolen from an admin wallet, earning a 10% fee.

ZKSync has confirmed that nearly $5 million in stolen tokens were successfully returned after the hacker accepted a 10% bounty. This return occurred within the ‘safe harbor’ period, a common protocol aimed at fostering cooperation without legal repercussions.

Key Highlights:

  • The hacker returned funds that were stolen during an admin wallet hack last week.
  • The funds were taken from tokens previously allocated for the ZKsync airdrop.
  • The ZKsync Security Council will handle the next steps regarding the returned tokens. A comprehensive report is underway and will be released upon completion.

In a message posted on X, ZKSync shared that the hacker cooperated with their team, allowing for the funds to be returned in a timely manner. The hacker’s cooperation entitled them to a 10% fee on the returned assets.
