ZKSync recovers funds stolen in $5M exploit after hacker claims bounty

In a twist that blurs the line between theft and freelance security work, ZKSync recovered millions drained in an exploit—after negotiating with the attacker. The platform clawed back the stolen crypto, but not before paying a ’bounty’ to the hacker (because nothing incentivizes good behavior like rewarding bad behavior). Active funds flow, passive security lessons—just another day in decentralized finance.
