I guess in the beginning when DEFI has hype, everyone wants to get on board on it and try to make money. But it seems it has been the target of most criminals as well, whether state sponsored or just individuals or groups who want to make money by exploiting it.
The thing though is that it's not big of a hack and Allbridge says that they are going to compensate those who lost their money in this hacked.
And for some strange reasons, the hackers are returning 1500 BNB, and remaining will be tag as white bounty compensation to the hackers.
You can follow them on their official twitter account,
https://twitter.com/Allbridge_ioThey were white/gray hat hackers. This is usually fastest way to get the attention of the teams about any security issues. It's a dangerous route however, as you can be flagged as criminal as well especially when you take a bug bounty without a concent. And for a smaller project even when they get their money back, just a fud and panic can kill a project after this.
With larger projects it's nearly impossible to kill them no matter how much you steal. Like in 2016 there was infamous Dao hack where 3,641,694 ETH were stolen (over $50 Million worth of ETH at the time). Eth nearly was killed but they just forked and survived.
