Return 90% of stolen funds to avoid criminal liability

The ZKSYNC team gave the hackers behind a recent feat of a 72 -hour ultimatum to return 90% of the stolen funds, or to face criminal responsibility.

ZKSYNC (Zk) The Security Council said that a positive pirate response would provide the incident to a friendly solution. The layer 2 blockchain platform published it in an Onchain message and via the official project account.

“To resolve this amicable affair in a spirit of Safe Harbor, we offer a bonus of 10% for your cooperation if you return 90% of the funds involved in the feat,” said Zksync.

On April 15, Zksync confirmed His administration portfolio had been compromised, with $ 5 million in stolen ZK tokens. According to the platform, the funds came from a piece of “remaining non-claimed tokens from the Zksync Airdrop”.

An update of the team at the time was that all user funds were safe and had never been at risk. Despite the cryptography hackingThe ZKSYNC protocol and the ZK tokens contracts remained safe, noted the team.

However, ZKSYNC said that an incident survey was underway, the last announcement to come in the middle of a price rebound for ZK.

The 72 -hour ultimatum specifically requires that the hacker sends 44,687,278,5988 ZK tokens to an address in the Zksync era. The pirate must also send 1,021.3 Ethereum (Ethn) and 766 ETH with given addresses. This includes an Ethereum Layer 1 address under the control of the Zksync Security Council.

“The funds sent to the addresses above controlled by the ZKSYNC Security Council will not be affected by the filtering of transactions which currently prevents addresses transactions holding the operated funds. The funds must be received in the ZKSYNC era and the Ethereum addresses listed above by the deadline. ”

According to ZKSYNC, if the hacker returns all of the stolen funds on the deadline, the team will publicly “confirm” a resolution.

Zksync will close the file in the feat of $ 5 million without any other action.

However, if the pirate does not take into account the ultimatum, Zksync will increase the question of the involvement of the police.
