- Paris Fotis, a spokesperson for the project, said bZx had been able to track down the attacker using his or her on-chain activity.
- The attacker returned the funds after being exposed, according to Fotis.
- bZx said in an incident report that $8 million worth of cryptocurrency had been stolen Sunday by an attacker who exploited a code bug to mint the protocol's interest-earning iToken, which was used to redeem, and walk away with, digital assets held in various lending pools.
- bZx’s official Twitter account announced earlier today that funds had been restored.
- This was the third, and the largest, attack on the bZx protocol so far this year.
- bZx's Kyle Kistner declined to tell CoinDesk anything about the attacker's identity when we initially wrote about the attack early Monday.

The director of global macro at the asset management giant remains a secular bull on bitcoin, but isn't optimistic about the next year.
What to know:
