Victim Kuan Sun praised Venus and partners after $13.5M recovery, calling it “a battle we actually won” through joint efforts.
Decentralized finance (DeFi) lending platform Venus Protocol has helped a user recover stolen crypto following a phishing attack tied to North Korea’s Lazarus Group.
On Thursday, Venus Protocol announced that it had successfully helped a user recover $13.5 million in crypto after the phishing incident that occurred on Tuesday. At the time, Venus Protocol paused the platform as a precautionary measure and started investigating.
According to Venus, the pause halted further fund movement, while audits confirmed Venus’ smart contracts and front end were uncompromised.
