💧 LIQUID WHITE HATS SAY THEY’LL RETURN ‘MOST’ OF 4000 BTC ONCE LIQUID NETWORK BUG IS PATCHED the hackers have been conversing with blockstream via OP_RETURN messages and PGP encrypted text - block 965,822 blockstream address sent 1,000 sat with "Please contact security at blockstream dot com" - block 965,865 an encrypted message addressed to the holder's own key, with a detached PGP signature. that signature verifies against the key published at - block 965,869: the hacker replied by self-spending their own balance but sending 1,000 sat to the federation's peg wallet and the text: "sending most back to [the federation address], is that ok". - block 965,875: substantive answer. again a self-spend, with 1,000 sat peeled to the federation and an OP_RETURN reading: "Please fix the bug first. The chain is under risk at latest commit right now. Make sure every node is patched. Then we will transfer the money back safely after confirming the fix." technical detail follows as a PGP message encrypted to Blockstream's published key, so only Blockstream can read it interesting back and forth here. never a dull day in bitcoin
