The CEO of Binance, the biggest cryptocurrency exchange in the world, Changpeng Zhao, well known by his screen name CZ, tweeted that they had been able to retrieve $450K of the stolen assets. CZ noted that the exchange had successfully recovered more than 83% of the stolen money. In an additional jab at the hacker, he tweeted:
Binance is also attempting to reimburse the hacking victims for their lost money. But there's still something unclear about the cryptocurrency business.

As we reported earlier, the platform's DNS was taken over by attackers. On the home page, the hacker allegedly created a harmful contract. The victim then approved the contract, which led to the theft. According to Zhao, Curve Finance used GoDaddy for DNS. Web3 projects were urged to avoid the platform because of its unsafety. CZ said, "No web3 projects should use that. Very susceptible to social engineering."
Curve Finance declared yesterday on Twitter that the DNS settings were "propagated everywhere," so the platform was secure to use.
