Infini, a prepaid payment card issuer that offers interest on the stable of deposited dollar, warned a hacker that he had “gathered critical IP information and device” after losing almost all the value blocked in his wallets.
The attacker exhausted $ 49.5 million of Neobank’s wallets based in Hong Kong, according to Pckshield. The company said only Sunday had reached $ 50 million in total value blocked.
The exploit occurred a few days after Bybit, the second largest exchange of cryptocurrencies by negotiation volume, saw a hacker drain its cold Éter wallet and go out with almost $ 1.5 billion in the largest exploit of Crypto.
“We are closely monitoring the direction involved and we are prepared to take immediate measures to freeze stolen funds if necessary,” Infini told the hacker in a blockchain transaction. “In an effort to solve this matter, we are willing to offer 20 % of stolen assets if you choose to return the funds.”
Infini gave the perpetrator 48 hours to “facilitate a quick resolution”, and that fact of not responding means that “he will have no other option”, but to continue his investigation in collaboration with the application of the law.
According to Cyvers, the exploit occurred after a developer who helped establish his intelligent contract maintained the rights of administration over him. More than three months later, they took advantage of these rights and drained the funds to a wallet financed on the cash of the cryptocurrency mixer.
The founder of the Neobank, Christian Li, has pledged to cover the complete loss of his personal funds and assumed the responsibility of the incident.
