The aftermath of Kyberswap cyberattack
In the aftermath of a cyberattack that led to a $47 million loss, Kyberswap, a decentralized finance (defi) trading platform, has entered into communication with the hacker responsible. The hacker expressed a willingness to negotiate the return of the funds and released a statement addressing the Kyberswap team.
A plea for cordiality
The hacker expressed their disappointment with the treatment they received from the Kyberswap executives, employees, token holders, and LPs. They stated that they have mostly received threats and general unfriendliness in response to their negotiation offer. As a result, they warned that if the hostility continues, the negotiations may need to be postponed.
The hacker’s warning
In an onchain message, the hacker warned that if they are not treated with further hostility, the negotiations can proceed as planned on November 30. However, if a more civil atmosphere cannot be established, the negotiations can be rescheduled for a later date.
Social media response
The hacker’s message gained attention on social media platforms, with some suggesting the need for a professional negotiator. The negotiation process hit a snag when the bounty percentage and potential legal consequences were disclosed. However, if the Kyberswap team manages to create a cooperative atmosphere, positive news may be announced by the hacker on Thursday at noon UTC.
