Jimbos Protocol, the victim of a $7.5 million hack, has announced an $800,000 bounty program to catch the hackers.
In some decentralized finance (DeFi) hack cases, there is a settlement between the hackers and the project. In such settlements, the hackers return a major portion of the cash while keeping the remaining as a bug bounty.
Jimbos Protocol Seeks Help of Law Enforcement
After the hack on Sunday, Jimbos Protocol gave an ultimatum to the hacker to return funds by 16:00 UTC Monday. But there has been no response from the hackers as yet.
Then, on Wednesday, the DeFi project announced the involvement of law enforcement agencies like the Department of Homeland Security to track the hacker. It wrote a message for the hacker on Twitter:
“To the attacker: We warned you. We’d prefer giving you the bounty, so we can focus on our protocol. Instead, we will deal with law enforcement to find you.”
