Binance, Huobi Collaborate to Retrieve Small Portion of Harmony Hack Funds from Lazarus
ທີ່ຜ່ານມາ ບົດລາຍງານ also stated that crypto exchanges Binance ແລະ Huobi were teaming up to recover some of the Harmony One funds. Security teams at both exchanges have jointly frozen and recovered 121 Bitcoin (BTC), or $2.5 million, from the hackers.
Binance chief executive Changpeng Zhao ບໍ່ດົນມານີ້ tweeted that the cybercriminals attempted to launder their funds through the Huobi exchange. However, Binance detected the unwholesome scheme and reached out to Huobi to help freeze and confiscate digital assets. Zhao’s tweet, which also revealed that the hackers initially unsuccessfully tried to funnel the stolen funds through Binance, read:
“We detected Harmony One hacker fund movement. They previously tried to launder through Binance, and we froze his accounts. This time he used Huobi. We assisted Huobi team to freeze his accounts. Together, 124 BTC have been recovered. CeFi helping to keep DeFi.”
ຄວາມກົມກຽວ Hack
ເດືອນມິຖຸນາທີ່ຜ່ານມາ, the Harmony team first detected the $100 million exploit, including a compromise of bridges linking Ethereum (ETH) and Bitcoin. At the time, Harmony issued a ຄໍາຖະແຫຼງທີ່ on Twitter that read:
"ທີມງານ Harmony ໄດ້ກໍານົດການລັກຂະໂມຍທີ່ເກີດຂື້ນໃນຕອນເຊົ້ານີ້ຢູ່ເທິງຂົວ Horizon ປະມານ. $100MM. ພວກເຮົາໄດ້ເລີ່ມເຮັດວຽກຮ່ວມກັບເຈົ້າໜ້າທີ່ແຫ່ງຊາດ ແລະຜູ້ຊ່ຽວຊານດ້ານສາທາລະນະສຸກ ເພື່ອຊອກຫາຜູ້ກະທຳຜິດ ແລະດຶງເອົາເງິນທຶນທີ່ຖືກລັກມາ.”
A few days later, the Harmony Protocol attempted to recover the stolen funds by ສະຫນອງດັ່ງກ່າວ a $1 million bounty to the hacker(s). In addition, the proof-of-stake (PoS) blockchain also promised not to initiate any criminal proceedings if the hacker returned the stolen funds. Harmony’s attempt at remedial measures went unanswered by the hackers because 24 hours later, the criminals started laundering the funds. In response, the blockchain protocol’s team announced that it was working with “national authorities and forensic specialists” to identify the miscreants. In addition, at the time, Harmony expressed the belief that it would eventually retrieve the stolen funds.
