Hacker Returns Majority of $340 Million Crypto Heist After Major Digital Asset Theft

A significant cryptocurrency heist, one of the largest to date, has seen a substantial portion of the stolen digital assets returned. Hackers successfully withdrew approximately $340 million in cryptocurrency, highlighting ongoing vulnerabilities within the digital asset space.
