A new attack on the cryptocurrency protocol Garden Finance has resulted in a significant theft of funds, with an estimated $5.5 million reported stolen by cybercriminals. ZachXBT, a prominent crypto investigator, has detailed their findings suggesting that 25% of transactions within the cross-chain project were likely linked to illicit sources, and further insights are anticipated soon. The Garden Finance team has responded with a unique offer: a 10% reward for the return of the stolen funds and assistance in identifying the security vulnerability. This proposal suggests they seek peaceful resolution to this complex situation and are focused on avoiding further incidents through collaboration and improved protocols for future security.
