The hacker who exploited the Verus-Ethereum bridge returned 4,052 ETH (around $8.5 million) after Verus proposed a deal to treat the remaining 1,350 ETH (about $2.8 million) as a white hat bounty. This agreement allowed Verus to recover roughly 75% of the stolen funds from the forged cross-chain transfer exploit. The incident highlights ongoing security challenges in DeFi, especially with cross-chain bridges, which remain a major target for attacks. Strengthening smart contract and bridge security is critical as DeFi adoption grows and vulnerabilities continue to impact confidence in decentralized platforms.
