Crypto hackers started to return funds after they stole around $610 million from Poly Network, a blockchain protocol which helps link blockchains together.
Poly Network said on Twitter that $260 million of the stolen funds had been returned but that $353 million was outstanding.Close to $267 mn of ethereum (ETH-USD), $252 mn of Binance coin (BNB-USD) and roughly $85 mm in USDC tokens were taken in the heist.
The hack is one of the largest ever in crypto, topping the $500 million crypto theft at Tokyo-based bitcoin exchange Coincheck in 2018. Poly Network which allows users to swap tokens across different blockchains, said on Tuesday it had been hacked and urged the culprits to return the stolen funds, threatening legal action.
