In the aftermath of the Poly Network exploit, in which the attacker <\/span>stole<\/span><\/a> more than $600 million worth of crypto, just to <\/span>return<\/span><\/a> the biggest portion of the take, the network continues mitigating the damage and fixes its vulnerabilities, while continuing a dialogue with the responsive hacker.<\/span><\/p>\n
