Hacker who steals 500 million euros gets a reward!
Well, gets… he has to return the 500 million euros. And then he can expect a nice ‘reward’.
The hacker did his crypto hack a few days ago. He soon admitted that he was sorry. But so far he hasn’t refunded everything. If he does, he will receive a nice reward, namely a sum of 500,000 dollars.

But whether that will really happen, that remains to be seen. He has returned a lot, but not everything. The prize he can get is a bug bounty to be exact. This is a reward offered by technical organizations to those who report security vulnerabilities. Well, that’s what’s going on here.
In a statement, Poly Network (the cryptos were stolen there) referred to the perpetrator as an ethical hacker. The decentralized financial platform thanked the hacker for “helping improve” security, but did not specify how it would pay the reward or whether it was accepted.

The perpetrator, or at least one person who claimed so, confirmed that Poly Network had offered him a $500,000 bounty to return the stolen assets. He also received a guarantee that he would not be held responsible for the robbery.
As early as Wednesday, the hacker started depositing cryptos back. Poly Network said Friday that the hacker had repaid $340 million in assets in a digital wallet.
Several experts are discussing on the internet why he has suddenly become so sorry. Some think it is almost impossible to ‘hide’ such a large amount of digital coins and launder and pay out in the long run. Others suggest that the hacker has become afraid of being exposed. With all its consequences. Because he has stolen a lot of money from many people.
