Hackers Return $263 Million Stolen From Liquid Network

Hackers drain roughly 4,000 BTC (~$320M) from Liquid Network federation wallet, then return 3,400 BTC with ~598 BTC still outstanding.

Attackers withdrew about 4,000 Bitcoin (roughly $320 million) from the Liquid Network federation wallet, which held approximately 4,200 BTC, via the SideSwap Peg-out Authorization Key without that key being compromised. Blockstream disabled nodes and suspended transactions after disclosing the heist on Sunday. Alleged white-hat hackers returned 3,400 BTC (~$262.6M) on Monday, demanding the underlying bug be patched before releasing the remaining ~598 BTC (~$47M). The network remains paused while fixes and a safe restart are prepared.

A hacker stole $340M in a crypto heist, then returned most of it

A hacker exploited a bug to steal about 4,000 BTC (~$340M) from Blockstream's Liquid Network, then returned roughly 3,400 BTC after the bug was fixed.

A hacker exploited a bug to withdraw roughly 4,000 bitcoins worth about $340 million from Liquid Network, a settlement service launched in 2018 by crypto firm Blockstream and used by several cryptocurrency exchanges. Liquid Network paused operations, and the hacker, described as a white hat, offered to return the funds once the bug was fixed. Former Blockstream executive Samson Mow said the bug was fixed and about 3,400 BTC (~$293M) returned, leaving roughly 600 BTC (~$47M) under the hacker's control pending further security improvements. Rekt's leaderboard ranks the heist among the largest cryptocurrency thefts to date.
