In an unprecedented turn, a hacker who stole $11.6 million from DeFi protocol Prisma Finance has issued conditions for returning the assets, demanding an online press conference and team transparency.
The hacker's conditions include public apologies from the Prisma Finance team, revealing team identities, addressing past errors, and detailing future security and smart contract auditing measures.
Despite using crypto mixing services to disguise the stolen funds' movements, the hacker insists on the return of the assets, challenging the conventional notion of malicious intent in the crypto space.
The demands put forth by the hacker underscore a critical dialogue about responsibility and ethics in the DeFi ecosystem, spotlighting the need for improved security protocols and community engagement.
