Allbridge’s exploiter accepted the project’s offer of a “white hat reward” and began returning the funds he had stolen.
The multi-chain token bridge, Allbridge, recently suffered an abuse of $573,000. Abused by flash loan, Allbridge faced the draining of its pools on BNB Chain.
Following this exploit, the project’s team offered a “white hat reward” to the hacker who applied a flash loan exploit to the platform. The name behind the $573 thousand abuse seems to have accepted this olive branch extended by the project team.
