Landing DeFi protocol Sturdy Finance suggested in on-chain message a reward of $100,000 to the attacker who hacked the platform for the return of stolen funds.
If the response is positive, the project team will not charge the hacker.

After the attack, the developers of the protocol immediately suspended all services to prevent further possible losses.

Recall that in April he stole about $ 9 million from the liquidity pool DEX SafeMoon, the attacker agreed to return 80% of the withdrawn funds for stopping the prosecution.
In the same month, an attacker who hacked the Sentiment DeFi protocol sent back 90% of the stolen assets.
