DeFi platform Qubit, which lost $80 million in a hack last week, is now offering a $2 million bounty and has requested the hacker return the stolen currency, “in line with historically high Polygon bounty and our total limit without prosecution.”
Qubit said the attacker was able to steal 206,809 Binance coins from its wallet using a vulnerability in one of its Ethereum blockchain contracts, which the company uses to process transactions for its users. So far, the hacker has not responded. (Simon Sharwood / The Register)
