The hacker, who recently attacked the KiloEx decentralized exchange and stole $ 7.4 million from the crypto acting, after a few days of silence returned to the platform 1.4 million USDT stabilcoins.

PeckShield blockchain specialists said that these funds were sent back to the KilOEX cryptocurrency address. The leadership of the Exchange put an attacker an ultimatum: if he returns the stolen funds within 72 hours, he can leave a reward of 10% of the amount of stolen funds. The exchange team warned that he was actively tracking the addresses of the hacker, so the stolen funds would be frozen.

At first, the cracker did not respond to KilOEX, so on April 17 the exchange filed an official statement to the Hong Kong police, connecting SlowMist cybersecurity specialists to investigate. The company publicly stated that it transferred important information to law enforcement agencies and later promised to publish a full report on the incident. Despite the fact that the hacker returned not 90% of the stolen amount, as the exchange offered to him, a perfect transaction may mean that the funds can still be returned.

Kiloex has not yet confirmed the receipt of funds and has not reported whether further negotiations with the hacker are underway. Now KiloEx is working on the restoration of trade operations and the plan for paying compensation to users. The exchange assured customers that open positions would be calculated on the basis of prices before the attack, without forced liquidation.

The first -day analysts of Cyvers Alerts reported the first time, the reason was called the vulnerability of the price oracle, which allowed the hacker to manipulate the ETH/USD values ​​and use the excessive prices to withdraw funds.
