In a surprising twist of events đ, the hacker who swiped a whopping $68 million through a sneaky technique called âaddress poisoningâ đ”ïžââïžđ», reached out to the victim. In a gesture of partial remorse, the hacker sent back 51 ETH, which is about $153,800 đž, along with a note asking the victim to get in touch via Telegram đČ.
The digital paper trail đ§Ÿ on Etherscan doesnât lie; it shows the hackerâs message clear as day. âPlease leave your Telegram, I will contact you,â the scammer penned not once, but twice, using the Input Data field of the Ethereum transaction as their notepad đ.
This unexpected message popped up after the victim, on May 5, boldly asked for a big chunk of their money back. The 51 ETH is just a drop in the ocean đ, merely 4.2% of what they asked for.
The victim, standing at a crossroads, declared, âAfter this, there is no turning back.â They added a stark warning: âWe both know that it is impossible to launder these funds. You will be traced.â đ
With a mix of hope and strategy, the victim offered the hacker a deal: keep 10% of the loot đ° as a finderâs fee, but return the rest by May 6. The clock is ticking⊠âł
