Liquid Bridge Hackers Return $270 Million in BTC

The hackers who drained the Liquid bridge have sent back $270 million worth of Bitcoin. This follows a high profile theft that originally totaled $320 million. The returned assets are a major development for the platform as it works to recover from the security breach.

Blockstream issued a direct on chain message to the attackers, informing them that the bridge nodes had been successfully patched. This move appears to have influenced the return of the funds. While the recovery is significant, it is not complete.

Approximately 600 BTC is still missing from the initial haul. Security teams and developers are monitoring the situation to see if the remaining funds will be returned or moved to different wallets. Traders are keeping a close watch on these wallet addresses for any signs of activity.
