About a week after a hacker stole $610 million from PolyNetwork in what was likely the biggest heist in history of so-called decentralized finance, the victim has offered its attacker a job.
The hacker claimed the attack against the PolyNetwork platform -- which lets users swap tokens across multiple blockchains -- was an act of “hacking for good” to “save the project.” The attacker has since promised to return the money and so far delivered about half of it.
