Hacker Gets $20M Bounty Offer From Balancer DAO

[cryptobro]

Following this week’s $100M DeFi exploit, Balancer has publicly offered its hacker up to 20% of the stolen funds — over $20 million — if they return the rest.
The funds were drained through a BatchSwap exploit and rounding bug in Balancer’s V2 and V5 Stable Pools.
Despite four separate audits, the vulnerability went unnoticed.
As of Friday, no funds have been returned.

That sounds a bit optimistic.

Hard to rebuild trust when audits miss what they’re meant to catch.

Four audits and still exploited — shows how fragile DeFi security can be.

Hope isn’t a recovery plan. Lessons need to be learned fast.

Optimism doesn’t patch exploits

“Bug bounty” — but make it unintentional.

When the bounty is this big, you know the exploit was massive.

Crazy world — hackers turning into negotiators now. 🤯
