This means that if the hacker hoped that he can get away with the rest of the stolen ETH, by sending some back to the company, the plan has backfired.
Alon Muroch, CEO and co-founder of CoinDash, commented to Finance Magnates: “We’ve been working close with the counter cyber terror police force. This might had some effect on what happened and hopefully will prevent future cases.”
Lahav 443 is a national level crime-fighting organization of the Israel Police, equivalent to the American FBI.
