폴리네트워크 해커에게 수석 보안 고문관 제안

암호화폐 플랫폼 폴리네트워크는 자신들의 가상 자산을 강탈 후 돌려준 해커에게 50만 달러와 함께 초고 보안 책임자 자리를 제시했다고 밝혔다.
폴리네트워크는 서로 다른 블록체인에서 발행된 암호화폐를 서로 교환해 사용할 수 있도록 하는 디파이 탈중앙화 금융 플랫폼이다.
지난주 해커는 폴리네트워크의 코드 오류를 이용해 폴리네트워크의 디지털 자산 6억 달러를 자신의 전자 지갑으로 옮겼다.
이번 사건은 2018년 일본 암호화폐 거래소 해킹 이 후 역대 최대 규모 해킹 공격으로 기록될 뻔했으나, 해커가 3천3백만 달러를 제외한 모든 자산을 돌려두며 사건이 마무리됐다.

Crypto platform hit by $600 million heist asks hacker to become its chief security advisor

The cryptocurrency platform targeted in a massive heist is now inviting the hacker behind it to become an advisor to the firm, and promising a $500,000 reward for the restoration of user funds.
Poly Network, a so-called decentralized finance or “DeFi” project, was hit with a major attack last week which saw the hacker, or hackers, make off with more than $600 million worth of tokens.
Poly Network lets users swap tokens from one digital ledger to another. Someone exploited a flaw in Poly Network’s code which allowed them to transfer the assets to their own crypto wallets.
It is thought to be the largest crypto heist of all time, surpassing the $534.8 million in digital coins stolen from Japanese exchange Coincheck in a 2018 attack and the estimated $450 million worth of bitcoin that went missing from Tokyo-based exchange Mt. Gox in 2014.
In Poly Network’s case, the hacker has taken the unusual step of returning most of the stolen money. All but $33 million of the crypto has now been returned.
