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.
