Verus Bridge Exploiter Returns 75% of Stolen ETH After Bounty Agreement

The attacker behind the Verus bridge exploit has returned 4,052 ETH, worth about $8.5 million, to the project’s team wallet, according to blockchain security firm PeckShield. The transfer followed a negotiated recovery offer proposed by the project.

Under the proposed terms, Verus offered a 1,350 ETH bounty if the exploiter returned 4,052.4 ETH within 24 hours.

As a result of the agreement, roughly 75% of the stolen assets were recovered, while the attacker kept 1,350 ETH, valued at around $2.8 million, as the agreed bounty.
