[Yield protocol Shezmu recovers stolen funds after paying 20% bounty] Mars Finance reported that on September 21, the yield protocol Shezmu recovered nearly $5 million in stolen funds within hours after successfully negotiating with hackers. This morning, Chaofan Shou, co-founder of blockchain analysis company Fuzzland, warned that one of Shezmu's repositories had been hacked. Although it is uncertain whether the incident was deliberate or a real hacker attack, Shou confirmed that about $4.9 million worth of cryptocurrency was stolen in the process.
Shezmu subsequently confirmed that one of its ShezmuUSD (ShezUSD) stablecoin vaults had been hacked and proactively urged the hacker to return the funds in exchange for a bounty without any legal consequences. The hacker responded to this request by asking for 20% of the bounty instead of the initial 10%, which Shezmu agreed to pay.
