Millions of dollars stolen from Poly Network
The decentralised funding platform, Poly Network, for the interconnection of blockchains based on the DeFi protocol, has reported that a cybercriminal group has stolen at least $600 million in cryptocurrencies and tokens, taking advantage of a vulnerability in the aforementioned protocol.
Fortunately, thanks to an original communication strategy with the cybercriminals carried out by Poly Network, part of the money has already been returned.
