If the hackers is professional enough they are now know/learn how to make it more secure in them like what most scammers do when they scam peoples money without a trace.
There are many hackers trying to exploit the thousands of exchanges in the market who are running without much security and they are dealing with millions of dollars and hackers do find a way to penetrate their system easily because of the lack of security and not all are sophisticated people as we witnessed in this case as he even did not hide his IP while trying to sell the loot which shows that he was not aware of the security level of crypto and might have thought he could be anonymous. If he knew better he would have used a mixer to hide his tracks from where he obtained the coins.

It's good the fund was refunded, this will help keep some community members, and atlest the dream of the project won't fold up. I hope they take all security issues seriously and not delay in any updates.
Why he returned money?
Because it was stolen money so they returned it, indeed refunds to the cryptocurrency world were very rare except for refunds for investors made by the project, I think this is worth doing because $ 25 million is a lot of money.

Wow thats nice, I am just curious how did the hackers return the money or tokens worth of 25million? Did FBI just track its location and those thieves got scared that they were arrested? If thats the case then its good. There should be a way to track down all these people and bypass their way to hide their identity. Its not good that every hacks like these happened cause once they dump it on the market surely it will be affected due to massive price drop from selling it. If you had read few comments before replying you would have easily known how the funds were returned back to the exchange. It was the Singapore police tha did this job.
Yeah, It is very strange. In fact, it is the first time I heard a hacker return the funds, I guess there is so many scenarios behind it and we don't know. Maybe someone hired a hacker just to test their platform on how good is the website security, all we can do is speculate. Well, everything that comes to the computer and programming and stuff can be penetrated by humans because it was made by a human so its possible that the hacker made a mistake and lead it right back at him. It is a good thing that all funds are returned.
There is nothing much to speculate as the hacker knew that the authorities had all his information to get him behind bars, the hacker forwarded the heist because he knew that his IP address is exposed because he messed up trying to cash out the funds through a centralized exchange without hiding his IP and now his IP address is submitted to the Singapore police and so is the reason we are hearing for the first time that a hacker returned the funds.
It dosent happen like this Everytime. Probably there is a loop hole that could expose then. Which might be the reason.

This topic is quite interesting. While the hacker is returning the money he stole, he allegedly returned it because he was afraid of his identity being exposed. The fact that someone who is too inadequate to provide this is able to steal such a big amount makes me think.
Strange that such a hacker could leave footprints like IP. It is more than unbelievable these days to be honest. Anyway, although we used to hate centralize exchange for many reasons, this is one of the reason that we should need. To trace some money, centralize exchanges are playing good role indeed.
Indeed very strange, they could hide their ip before attacking, just like the past exchange hacking cases, or maybe the past hack incidents were insider job ?
If we using centralized exchange, they will take responsible for our coin when get compromised, but if we using decentralized exchange, who will take the responsible ? Our own self.

There is more to it.
I am suspecting it might be an insider work. Most hacks that have been done, I believe would have the consent of someone who knows about the project or sometimes who is even part of the team.
As stated in the article, ParaSwap has the information or knows the attacker but evades because of the GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) laws. No matter what, there is the need for information to participate in the project, but not assisting dForce is quite suspicious as well. I am suspecting it might be an insider work.

Why would you return the funds if you got caught it's not like the police will forgive your crimes because you return the stolen funds. The hacker could've use the stolen funds to pay the bail and get out of jail.
maybe they are struggling to withdraw it since their address already got traced resulting in many exchanges will immediately suspend them? Beside that it's still a good thing that the funds get sent back to the rightful address whether they will get punished or not who knows atleast the rightful owner of those money didn't lose it .
I hope this is a warning to anyone dealing with "Decentralized" applications. Believe it or not, but Dforce wasn't decentralized to begin with, nor is MANY other Exchanges, including Binance, and a few others.
You have to understand that "Decentralized" is a trending word to use these days, as everyone wants it.
Blocknet started the first DEX in early 2018. Many have tried to copy their work, or outright stealing their source code to make their own. Don't get me wrong, the more DEX's we have to choose from, the better - BUT it makes me sick that so many devs spits out "decentralized" like it's a buzz word with no meaning.
You can't hack a decentralized application, hence why it's "decentralized".
Anyone wanting to trade on a REAL DEX, should read up on Blocknet, and what they do: https://blockdx.com/

He pr she might not get it done by himself or herself, but might employ the service of an outsider, by providing some sensitive information.
If it is well investigated, I believe that there will be some connections.
At least, I am glad that te fund is back and I wish other hacks are traced and funds retrieved.
I guess that's what happens when you steal something and you haven't covered your tracks. When your sensitive information is transferred to the police, in this case, the Singapore police, it's going to be a game-changer for that hacker. The story is still developing though.

lol is this true that the singapore police has successfully catch the hacker by the IP address ?
If the hacker used anonymous proxy before attacking, the story would be different i guess. Anyway, it is a good thing because i never heard exchange that has been hacked, get their coins back.
I think the hacker had tried to hide his IP before carrying out the attack, but the police were smarter so the police could still track him down.If the hacker used anonymous proxy before attacking, the story would be different i guess. Anyway, it is a good thing because i never heard exchange that has been hacked, get their coins back.
Btw, is the problem resolved after the money is returned? or he will still be punished
And that is a one in a million hacker, I'm glad the fund is fully refund and I hope the hacker is well compensated, at least Dforce should know that DeFi is not as great as they think, hope they work better to security a guarantee
lol it's not caused by the hacker but the singapore police who has been holding the IP of the hacker who helps this DeFi platform to get back their money. I just suggest the users of that dex to withdraw their money caused by it has proven if that Defi is a big crap. Move to the secure exchange site will much better. lol is this true that the singapore police has successfully catch the hacker by the IP address ?

i don't know what is the reason here because hackers never come to return back what they have already taken from others.Source: https://www.theblockcrypto.com/post/62530/dforce-attacker-returns-all-25m-stolen-funds-back-to-the-defi-project
But what is thankful here is that reality that the funds had come back from where it
it must be.
lets hope that this is a reality and not show for whatever reason.
It's like the hacker was exposed that's why he had no choice but to return the money, it's on the internet that the guy used a bad vpn and it revealed his ip address, any way good luck to deFi
even if he returns the fund if he was already expose then he will be facing cases regarding this damn action he did. Jump to:
