On 20 March, Euler Finance’s hacker sent a message to an Ethereum [ETH] address related to the DeFi platform. After Euler issued an on-chain ultimatum demanding the funds’ return, the hacker offered to start a dialogue.

The message, embedded in an Ethereum transaction, read:

“We want to make this easy on all those affected. No intention of keeping what is not ours… Setting up secure communication. Let us come to an agreement.”

After several hours, Euler responded with its own on-chain message, acknowledging the message and asking the exploiter to speak “in private.”

On March 13, the DeFi platform was attacked with a flash loan exploit, draining approximately $196.9 million in various cryptocurrencies.
