    Hackers Return Portion Of Record Crypto Heist Haul – By Glenn Chapman (IB Times) / Aug 11 2021

    A firm specializing in transferring cryptocurrency said that hackers have given back $260 million worth of digital loot from a record haul.

    Poly Network fired off a tweet Wednesday saying hackers had returned $260 million worth of the digital assets taken in a heist a day earlier valued at $613 million.

    Polygon had urged the thieves to return the stolen fortune and provided online addresses for transfers.

    “Seven minutes prior to sending the first transaction returning some of the funds, the hacker created a token called ‘The hacker is ready to surrender’ and sent this token to the designated Polygon address,” digital asset research firm The Block said in a post at its website.

    One of the touted features of cryptocurrency is that blockchain transactions are public, even if the people behind them are not.
