zkLend Hacker Loses Stolen Funds to Phishing Scam

A recent incident involving a hacker who stole funds from zkLend, as detailed by blockchain analyst Vladimir S, highlights the dangers of phishing scams even in the crypto world. The hacker mistakenly clicked on a fake website while attempting to use Tornado Cash, leading them to lose 2,930 ETH before they could transfer the stolen funds. Subsequently, the hacker reached out to zkLend through an on-chain transaction expressing remorse and requesting assistance in recovering their stolen assets. Following this request, zkLend urged the hacker to return the remaining funds, which were duly repaid.
