You expect me to believe that 😒? It seems like every DeFi projects are now using hacks to dodge some blames and responsibilities, it's more like a planned work, sorry mate I don't believe DeFi hacks anymore, there is now more that meet the eye

The attacker, also a Nexus Mutual member, completed KYC (know-your-customer) 11 days ago and switched to a new address on Dec. 3, before gaining remote access to Karp’s computer and modified MetaMask wallet extension, according to the company’s tweets. That tricked him into signing a different transaction that transferred funds from his hardware wallet to attacker’s address.

How stupid can this CEO be or, should I say, how lame is that excuse?
It won't be long for the funds to be returned if they really identified the attacker assuming what was sent for KYC verification was his real data. The CEO also said that it will be difficult to cash out the hacked tokens but he still offered a $300K bounty hehe.

An easy $300K for the "attacker" huh?

I think the attacker already have a plan to withdraw it also I don't think the person (Is that the CEO?) will drop the case after the attacker returned the WNXM. What do you think about it? Is that something like a trap or he really dares to give $300k bounty?

[toast]

if i would be the attacker it think i would return it or maybe would return it and deduct the $300K already. well it's true that he would be having some trouble withdrawing it so i think he should just cooperate and return it plus he will be rewarded.

How will one know that there is even a hacker? Maybe the team steal the tokens themselves and now puting up a show? Probably the hacker will accept and get the 300k for payment? Sorry I don't trust crypto developers anymore, they can go any lent to come out clean

[JeotQ]

The hacker will get caught if he really tries to change the token to fiat, some times scammers are just too stupid, the money is way too huge and moving that huge amount around will be easy to trace, I'm sure by now that there is already high alert on the hackers, lol hackers are the most greedy people ever liveth

structured and planned with great care. At first glance this looks clear as if it were theft. but this is ridiculous at the same time the price of WNXM dropped dramatically. The CEO immediately let go of his hand, the same thing happened to AOA in the middle of this year, the difference is there is no pretense, but just left by Dev. after pumping high and leaving with a lot of money. Hehehe
the risk of DeFi starts to emerge, it's time to return to the main parent of BITCOIN.

[qory]

Another DeFi hack. Was this really true at all or maybe they just a cover up on stealing it? possibly right well i'm not really into DeFi since I'm not really sure whether they could be trusted or not there's a lot of scams in DeFi projects so I choose to stay away from it.

[jacafbiz]

The way the hack happens still make me think everything that is hackable will still be hacked, I don't know how the guy knows the hacker did KYC recently and if this is true and the guy use his real document then the hacker is in trouble. I just feel the developer to is slack with security and this is a dent on the project as a whole

[Kunnu]

Probably scammer will have sharp strategies that's why he/she has done this attempt successfully and it's all indicates that the kyc data of scammer won't be genuine because if the scammer had given real identity for the kyc so he/she doesn't do this.

[sujonali1819]

Yes, another hacked occurred in DeFi. I also this a few hours back. Though I have doubts about Defi hacking because I could not be sure it's actually hacking or a strategy of stealing people's money.
Hacking is always happening in crypto and after coming up of DeFi the ratio is increasing day by day. Let's see what will be the next project victim of a scam.

[rat03gopoh]

So those large number of tokens are only stored in the metamask wallet? I think every technical person understands the importance of cold storage.
Whether this is purely a hack or just another sneaky scenario, everyone should avoid defi 2020 projects. I think all will be hacked in the near future.

[passwordnow]

Seems like a good deal. But do they really think that people would believe with those excuses as it's like a magical hack that's been done by one of their people?
This is totally ridiculous on the side of a defi project, they'll create a project and when they're about to be gone, an unexpected event like hacking will come and occur with those reasonings.

You expect me to believe that 😒? It seems like every DeFi projects are now using hacks to dodge some blames and responsibilities, it's more like a planned work, sorry mate I don't believe DeFi hacks anymore, there is now more that meet the eye

I couldn't agree more.

So proves again that whether it is audited or not.
No wonder how high the claims are from the developers, all these projects are not 100% secure so that means they are highly risky and your funds can be stolen. I will wait more till we get fool proof defi to invest.

DEFI hacks are very possible, but it's also true that the rate at which these platforms get hacked, one might suggest some developers do it on purpose. Well, I doubt if a successful project like WNXM will forge a hack, this is a call for all DEFI platforms to keep advancing their security since hackers keep looking for new means to bypass security.

How ironic is this hack because this project was aimed at providing insurance so lets see how it would provide the insurance to its own investors and token holders, things are not as simple as they look like and it seems like developers are attacking other developers projects because a common person cannot hack such complex contracts.

[Willitivity]

Another DeFi hack again? Not good! This is why Defi will be going extinct soon. Hackers, scammers and other bad actors have started using it as a means to an end to milk off innocent defi users of their funds. These days, I'm scared to participating in any defi project even if they claim that they have fully audited their project source codes. Even though Nexus Mutual hack isn't directly connected to the project gbut due to a fault from the CEO's end, I still feel skeptical about it because investors of rhe project will be in loss as token value has dropped.

Did you mean this could be the inside job and the team was creating a drama? it could be possible but it's too early to predict it.
that looks so crap to see that the majority of defi was not doing regular audit to the its code. the defi developers can manipulate its project easily. People are putting their live in defi and they must stop it lol.

[pedrillo0]

A 300k bounty as a prize for the pirate? It seems implausible!

The NXM market has been falling for 3 months and now with this news it lost 22% of its value in 24 hours. It seems very strange.

That's why I don't trust DeFí...
