PANews reported on June 14 that according to The Block, after the UwU Lend attacker failed to return the funds, the protocol is taking another step to find the hacker. According to the Input Data Message (IDM) on Ethereum, UwU Lend will offer a $5 million ETH bounty to the "first person to identify and find" the hacker, adding that "no funds or fees are required to be recovered." Previously, the protocol had left a message to the hacker, saying that he only needed to return 80% of the funds, and the remaining 20% could be kept by himself. The protocol will not pursue the matter further, nor will it involve law enforcement agencies in the matter. The hacker must return the funds before 1 p.m. EST on Wednesday. But in a message sent to the hacker on Thursday, UwU Lend said that "the deadline for returning the stolen funds has expired."
