One of the wallets tied to the hack of Prisma Finance, a liquid staking protocol that was exploited for $11 million by multiple attackers on Mar. 28, has claimed to be a "white-hat" hacker interested in returning funds to the protocol, rather than a "black-hat" hacker who would keep the funds for themself.
In an on-chain message to Prisma Finance, the hacker criticizes the Prisma team for not catching the mistake, and claims that the press conference would help send a message to the entire decentralized finance space. "I hope this would help ppl be more careful participating in defi, the teams would be more responsible, and everyone would change their minds about things like this," the hacker wrote in an on-chain message to Prisma Finance.
Occasionally, hacked protocols are able to recover funds by negotiating with attackers. However, the hacker's unusual demands, coupled with their transfers of over $2.5 million in ether to blockchain mixing service Tornado Cash, have left many Prisma Finance users skeptical of the hacker's true motives.
