The founder of the decentralized finance protocol SIR.trading has made an emotional plea to the hacker responsible for its recent theft of $355,000. In a message, the founder, known as Xatarrer, requested the return of approximately 70% of the stolen funds, suggesting that the hacker keep $100,000 as a fair share and return the remainder to ensure the survival of the protocol. Xatarrer emphasized the effort behind the platform, which was developed over four years with $70,000 raised from friends and supporters, and highlighted the impact of the theft on their operations. Despite the setback, the team is committed to continuing their work and supporting those affected by the hack. The exploitation occurred due to a vulnerability in the protocol's contract linked to Ethereum's Dencun upgrade, allowing the hacker to drain the vault by manipulating a callback function. So far, the hacker has not responded and has moved the stolen funds through a privacy solution. The incident underscores ongoing security challenges within the cryptocurrency space.
