50 ETH or Nothing, Shibarium Hacker Rejects Bounty Offer

Shibarium hacker has requested that the platform pay 50 ETH, worth approximately $150,000, as a bounty reward.

Key Notes

  • Shibarium hacker is asking for “50 ETH or nothing” as a bounty offer.
  • Shibarium Network noted that this shows that the hacker is out to harm the protocol.
  • In September, the hacker began moving the siphoned funds.

The hacker behind the exploit on Shibarium, the Layer-2 scaling solution of Shiba Inu SHIB $0.000009 24h volatility: 1.6% Market cap: $5.17 B Vol. 24h: $182.12 M , has demanded a bounty reward of 50 Ethereum ETH $2 995 24h volatility: 1.9% Market cap: $361.05 B Vol. 24h: $38.27 B .

Based on ETH’s current market price, the hacker’s request is worth over $150,000. In an update on X, Shibarium Network noted that the earlier bounty offer of 25 ETH “is now decaying every day until the end of the claim period arrives.”

Shibarium Hacker Negotiates Bounty Offer

According to Shibarium Network, the hacker behind the platform’s exploit has refused to take anything less than 50 ETH as a bounty.

UPDATE: This bounty is now decaying every day until the end of claim period arrives.

The hacker has already replied once again saying "50eth or nothing" so we can assume this person has a very smooth brain and only wants to see K9 Finance DAO, and by extension, all of Shibarium…

The protocol believes that the bad actor is out to cause harm to the ecosystem and its associated projects. Unfortunately, many projects like Roaring Kitty, Bad Idea Ai, and LTD have been affected by the attack.

“Every team that worked hard to build on Shibarium that was impacted by this event deserves a positive outcome here in the end, and we had hoped this would be one we could all share,” Shibarium Network shared in a recent post on X.

The team has made multiple offers to the hacker, including a “final offer” of 25 ETH. MRShimamoto on X believed the exploit perpetrator would accept it, but the latest request from the Shibarium hacker suggests otherwise.

25 ETH bounty for Shibarium Bridge Hacker – final offer.

I don't think they deserve it. Let's see if they foolishly miss their last chance to profit from K9…. ⏳💸 #ShibArmy please spread the news!

Shibarium Hacker Offloads Loot

The attack on the Shibarium bridge happened back in September, with security firm PerkShield first spotting suspicious activity.

Upon investigation, it was discovered that the attacker leveraged a flash loan to acquire the 4.6 million BONE, but Shiba Inu immediately froze the tokens .

The Shibarium team offered the attacker a Whitehat bounty reward and even promised to leave out legal charges if they returned the funds before a stipulated time.

Instead of returning the funds, the hacker offloaded the siphoned funds , as spotted by Christopher Johnson, President of Lightspeed Crypto Services and advisor to the Bad Idea AI (BAD) project.

Since then, there have been several back-and-forths, and it remains unclear whether Shibarium will meet the hacker’s latest demands.
