A cryptocurrency firm that had $610m stolen from it has offered the hacker responsible a job as the company’s chief security adviser.
Poly Network also proposed giving “Mr White Hat” a $500,000 “bug bounty” to return the hacked cryptocurrency, as well as inviting them to work for the company.
“Poly Network no intention of holding #mrwhitehat legally responsible and cordially invites him to be our Chief Security Adviser. $500,000 bounty is on the way. Whatever #mrwhitehat chooses to do with the bounty in the end, we have no objections,” the company tweeted.
A bug bounty rewards “friendly” hackers who demonstrate security vulnerabilities in a company’s systems or software, while “White Hat” is a term for someone who hacks for ethical reasons.
Poly Network said that the hacker did not accept the bounty but may give it to the technical community who have worked on blockchain technology
