Poly Network attacker returns $256m of the stolen cryptocurrency
About 20 minutes later, the team behind the Poly Network responded to the exploiter address through a transaction that it is "preparing a multi-sig address controlled by known Poly addresses." In a follow-up transaction, the Poly Network team identified three addresses that they hoped the attacker returns the funds to. The money is currently being sent to these addresses.
