🚨THIS WHITE HAT HACKER RESCUED $2 MILLION OF ETH TRAPPED SINCE 2016 ICO A bug in a 2016 ICO contract left 1,003 ETH permanently locked under a smart contract that was supposed to automatically refund investors if the funding target wasn't reached. Nearly a decade later, security researcher Florent discovered a way to revive the refund mechanism. After analyzing the contract, Florent identified an exploit in the admin function that would reset the holder's balance to 1, satisfying the contract's refund conditions and finally releasing the locked ETH. Florent contacted the ICO team, reproduced the recovery process in a forked environment, and verified that the funds could be safely unlocked. After the team approved and signed the transaction, the white-hat exploit successfully unlocked the entire 1,003ETH stash, now worth roughly $2 MILLION. This breakthrough now allows the original investors to finally recover funds that have been inaccessible since the ICO boom of 2016.(Coin Bureau)
