Hackers allegedly executed a 'white hat' operation extracting $320 million from the Liquid Network blockchain. They kept $47 million and returned the rest, highlighting security vulnerabilities in crypto infrastructure.
Hackers extracted $320 million from the Liquid Network blockchain and kept $47 million while returning the rest. The hackers' decision to return most of the funds and the term "white hat operation" suggest this may have been a security demonstration meant to expose vulnerabilities rather than a pure theft. The $47 million kept could be framed as a reward for the disclosure.
This type of high-profile extraction exposes structural weaknesses in cryptocurrency infrastructure that others will now probe. Whether the hackers had benign intentions doesn't change the fact that $320 million was briefly vulnerable to theft. If this was intentional disclosure, it's a high-stakes way to pressure a platform into fixing security. If it was a partial hack with partial return, it highlights how crypto systems can be breached even without traditional firewalls.
