“# Multichain hacker returns 322 ETH, keeps hefty finders fee <\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

In a dramatic twist, one of this week\u2019s Multichain hackers has returned 322 ETH ($974,000 at the time of writing) to the cross-chain router protocol and one of the affected users.<\/p>\n

However the hacker kept 62 ETH ($187,000) as a \u201cbug bounty\u201d, and a total<\/a> of 528 ETH (worth $1.6M) remains outstanding after the exploits. <\/p>\n

Earlier this week, news<\/a> emerged of a security vulnerability with Multichain relating to the tokens WETH, PERI, OMT, WBNB, MATIC, and AVAX, and $1.43 million was stolen. Multichain announced<\/a> on Jan. 17 the critical vulnerability had been \u201creported and fixed.\u201d<\/p>\n

However, publicity about the vulnerability reportedly encouraged a number of different attackers to swoop in, and more than $3 million in funds were stolen. The critical vulnerability in the six tokens still exists, but Multichain has drained around $44.5m of funds from multiple chain bridges to protect them.<\/p>\n
