Hackers behind one of the biggest ever cryptocurrency heists have returned more than a third of about $600 million in digital coins they stole, blockchain researchers said on Wednesday, APA reports quoting Reuters.
Poly Network, a decentralised finance platform that facilitates peer-to-peer transactions, announced the hack on Twitter, posting details of digital wallets to which the tokens were sent.
The value of the coins in the wallets was just over $600 million at the time of the announcement, according to blockchain analysts.
Poly Network, which allows users to swap tokens across different blockchains, later urged the hackers to return the stolen funds to several of its digital addresses, saying it planned to take legal action.
Roughly $260 million worth of cryptocurrency has been returned to Poly Network in a range of coins, according to separate analyses by blockchain forensics company Chainalysis and crypto tracking firm Elliptic.
