Cryptocurrency market maker Wintermute sent a message to the hacker through the Ethereum blockchain, saying that he hoped that the hacker would accept the terms of the bounty. With the funds returned, the incident can still be considered a white hat incident, where the hacker gets a 10% bounty. Otherwise, Wintermute will contact the authorities through appropriate channels to deal with it accordingly. Foresight News previously reported that Wintermute lost $160 million in a DeFi hack on September 20.
