A significant cyberattack hit Munchables on the Blast layer-2 platform, leading to a loss of $62.5 million in funds. The attacker, suspected to be linked to North Korea, has targeted other crypto projects in the past.

Further investigation revealed that the perpetrator was an ex-employee of Munchables with access to alter smart contract code. Additionally, evidence of collaboration between four developers and the attacker was found. They recommended each other for jobs, shared exchange deposit addresses, and transferred funds among themselves.

Hacker Dev Returns Stolen Funds, Ending Well.

Despite the challenging situation, the Blast Core recovered $97 million in a multi-signature wallet through extensive efforts. The former Munchables developer voluntarily returned the stolen funds without demanding a ransom, leading to a positive resolution of the crisis.

To aid in the restoration of user funds, the developer released all relevant private keys. This gesture ensured quick resolution without any conditions attached to the return of $62,535,441.24 and various other keys.

Conclusion

While the cyberattack was severe, Munchables aims to prioritize user security without enforcing lockdrops. Blast-related rewards will proceed as planned, with more updates expected soon. Key stakeholders await further developments following this critical event in the Web3 gaming platform.
