Originally reported by ZDNet, a hacker has stolen $13 million worth of USD Coin and $11 million worth of Tether in a single transaction from the popular cryptocurrency financing site “Harvest Finance.” In a series of public announcements, the admins behind Harvest Finance admitted to making a mistake and leaving a critical flaw in their code that could be exploited in this manner.
Additionally, the admins announced that the hacker left a lot of personally identifiable information behind. However, they have no interest in “doxxing” the attacker and instead are pleading with the attacker that they return the stolen funds. Around $2 million was returned around 2 minutes after the hack took place, but no money has been returned since.
