On Nov. 14, an unknown party exploited flash loans via the decentralized finance protocol Value DeFi to the tune of $5.4 million. A number of individuals have received a portion of their stolen funds back, however, after pleading with the hacker using input data on the Ethereum blockchain.
According to data from Etherscan, the hacker sent $95,000 in Dai back to two of the victims who posted messages accessible in the Ethereum block explorer’s input data on Sunday.
