Euler Finance exploiter sent 3000 Ethereum (worth $5.4 million) to the Euler deployer address in batches of 1000 ETH on March 18, according to on-chain data.
Blockchain analytical firm Arkham intelligence reported the transactions. The firm added that the user who got 100 ETH from the exploiter also returned the excess to the DeFi project’s deployer address.

Euler Exploiter Transactions Sends Mixed SignalsSince the March 13 exploit, the hacker has carried out a series of strange transactions, including returning 100 ETH to a user and sending a similar amount to the Ronin Bridge hacker.
The transactions to the Ronin Bridge hacker birthed speculations that the hack might be connected to the North Korean-backed hacker group Lazarus. However, on-chain sleuth ZachXBT posited that the hackers were “trolling with that transaction.”

These transactions have sent mixed signals about the hacker’s intentions, with many arguing that he is willing to return the funds while others argue against this.
Meanwhile, the DeFi protocol has offered a $1 million bounty to anyone that provides information that leads to the hacker’s arrest and the stolen funds’ return. Euler Labs CEO Michael Bentley tweeted that he would never forgive the hacker because the incident has made him sacrifice the time he should spend with his newborn son.
The Euler Foundation has launched a $1M reward for any information that leads to the identification and arrest of the attacker. If you come across any clues on chain, Discord, Telegram, Twitter, or GitHub, please share them.https://t.co/d7NFY6zfbb
