Hacker Seeks Civility in $47 Million Kyberswap Heist, Demands Friendly Negotiations

In the wake of Kyberswap, a decentralized exchange (dex) platform, suffering a $47 million loss due to a cyberattack, the perpetrator indicated a readiness to engage in negotiations. Yet, despite expressing an openness to resolution, the hacker lamented encountering primarily “received (mostly) threats, deadlines, and general unfriendliness.” They warned that if such hostility persists, the Kyberswap team might face delays in resolving the issue.

Kyberswap Hacker Demands Cordiality in $47 Million Heist Talks

Five days ago, Kyberswap, a decentralized finance (defi) trading platform, fell victim to a cyber attack, resulting in a loss of $47 million. The team announced that its market maker, Kyberswap Elastic, had “experienced a security incident.” Since the attack, they have established communication with the perpetrator, and an onchain message indicates the hacker’s openness to negotiate the return of the funds.

Yet, the hacker claims to have faced unjust treatment and warns that if such circumstances persist, the team may need to postpone the negotiations to a later date. “Dear Kyberswap executives, employees, token holders, and LPs,” the hacker wrote. “I said I was willing to negotiate. In return, I have received (mostly) threats, deadlines, and general unfriendliness from the executive team. That’s ok, I don’t mind. I have prepared a statement concerning our (potential) treaty. I plan to release it on Nov. 30 at Noon UTC, sharp.”

The Kyberswap attacker added:

Under the assumption that I am treated with further hostility, we can reschedule for a later date, when we all feel more civil. You need only say the word. If not, we proceed as planned on Nov. 30. Thank you.

The hacker’s message gained momentum on social media platforms. One individual who circulated the message commented, “We need a professional negotiator it seems.” It appears that the negotiation process hit a snag following the disclosure of the bounty’s percentage and the mentioning of potential legal consequences for failing to respond. Nevertheless, should the Kyberswap team successfully foster a cooperative atmosphere and smooth out any issues, the attacker might announce positive news on Thursday at noon UTC.
