‘White hat’ hackers take $47 million bounty after $320 million crypto theft

Hackers who stole $320 million from the Liquid Network crypto platform returned most of the stolen funds following public negotiations, retaining approximately $47 million. The partial recovery represents a negotiated resolution between the attackers and platform operators.

Why it matters: Crypto platform operators and security teams need to understand that large-scale theft incidents may be partially recoverable through negotiation, but complete fund recovery is not guaranteed, leaving organizations exposed to residual loss.
