KiloX Exchange offers hackers 10% bounty on stolen funds... ”Legal action if not met”

Decentralized exchange KiloEx has offered a bounty of 10% of the amount stolen to hackers who attack its platform.
On the 15th (local time), KiloEx announced through X that it was working with law enforcement agencies, cybersecurity firms and exchanges to obtain important information regarding hacker activities.
"We are monitoring the hacker's wallet addresses and are prepared to immediately freeze any stolen funds," it said.
If they returned 90% of the stolen funds of $7.5 million within 72 hours, the remaining 10% would be a why-do for their cooperation.
The exchange added that if the hackers return the funds, it will consider the incident a "white hat hack."
The exchange also said that if the hackers do not accept the white hat bounty offer, they will take legal action and make themselves public.
On the 14th of last month, a cybersecurity firm reported that an exploit had been used to attack the KiloX exchange by leveraging a vulnerability in its price oracle.
According to the company PeckShield, the attack resulted in $3.3 million from the Base Chain, $3.1 million from opBNB, and $1 million from the BSC token, resulting in a total of $7.5 billion in the theft.
Assets worth $10,000,000 (approximately 1.07 billion yen) were stolen. After the hack, KiroX temporarily suspended operations of its DEX and revealed that the vulnerability has now been blocked.
