In a shocking turn of events, an anonymous hacker has once again returned stolen ETH tokens to CoinDash – a tool aiming to help users manage, track, analyze, and “get a bird’s eye view” of their crypto assets.

Why they stole if they had to return ? I always find these cases suspicious:

1) I think exchanges may be involved in this. This might be done to get in news and it is sad to see businesses using these cheap tactics to attract more customers.

2) Some possibility is that the hacker was a security researcher and did this to demonstrate the security vulnerability on the site. This is why all exchanges should have a bounty program to reward security researchers. For instance, coinbase has a program on hackerone for this.
Such cases may well be true. A little-known hacker wants to get some glory and for this he returns money, it's really worthy. It shows that there is a vulnerability of theft of funds. I believe that every large company should have a system of rewards for searching for vulnerabilities in the system.

Heartless set of human. They is no joy on them, even ready to collect more, if the ETH wallet are still receiving fund or coins, still ready to collect. That is why blockchain wallet (btc) is still the best, because is well secured and back off with email and login private key can be changed any time.

This is a great news. I think the hacker just want the exchanger to know that there is a loophole in their system. I advice them to pay attention to their security.

I do not believe in this story. Why did the hacker wait more than a year? Why just now he decided to return the money? This news looks like a fake.

It's not yet confirmed; this is pretty weird to see someone that already done with a lot of effort to stole the funds and then he was only keeping it and returning it to the owner. Or this is just another way to make another sensation to the public to raise awareness and attention.

There is no Txid to proves it. And then this could be another manipulation even this news has come from the reliable media.

If this news is true then I think its a very good news. Can you provide the source of this news so we can see if the news is correct or not? I think there should be some way to trace these hackers and caught them because these kinds of cases are growing daily.

This is April fool's day news! There's always a lot of fake news out there today!

The hacker's attack is for the money, after getting the money to return the money, what is the hacker's thinking?

is there any proof of this news you shared?
it seems very interesting, someone refuses to be rich,
does the hacker also have fear?
are transactions on the Ethereum network traceable?

wow! the very first time i heard such?but thumbs up to that hacker. and @realcrypto just said it all,list that hacker would make them have a second taught about their security,cause if he can do that then their several other guru's who can also get in and maybe this time no returning. thumbs up again to that hacker..
There are very few such "knights" at the moment. Most people use their hacking skills for profit, they just crack other people's wallets using various known vulnerabilities and receive money. Such happy stories are now very rare.

Some hackers specifically hack for experiments, but whether it turns out, such as a security check. But unfortunately there are not many, many simply profit from us using impunity.

Any source for that news ? site that trusted where i can read the news about it ? Cause i dont just trust what everyone said at internet.

Yeah, any statement should be backed with proofs. But I'm really surprised that there are many cases when hackers return stolen crypto... I'm glad that there are a lot of kind and honest people but I wonder what drive them to do it?
Did it already happened in the past? I mean, hackers returning what they hacked?
Sounds funny to me you call them kind and honest when they were hackers at the first place. :)Anyway, I read the article, some people say it could be just a press release, which is not impossible. But, if the "hackers" are really hackers, maybe they just did it to test themselves and show the people what they've got - their hacking skills. I sum it up as hacking just for fun.
Most likely, high-level hackers have some notions of honor.
If you can steal a million dollars from someone else's wallet at any time, then you can afford to return some of the funds to create a positive image.

Might be an inside job and the coindash has tracked the hacker so that person was forced to send it back because his life would be in danger,or he is just testing the vulnerabilities of coindash,or he is just trippin around because he want to try if he can find a way to steal those ethereum,but this is really something new,very unusual because if you steal that amount of ethereum you could live and buy anything you want.
Not sure about that, as you can see there were some scam projects just like ebitz opair and flex coin which stolen more than 25 million dollars. And they were never getting tracked by the way.
To track the hackers it not easy. The fact that with the encryption of SHA and it makes crypto becomes more difficult to be tracked. I just gonna see where that will be going on.

I can say they want to get alot of money for sure. If they dont want money then why they do it?
Other reason maybe they are competitor employee who has job to hack their company competitor.

Maybe he's afraid that one day someone might hunt him if they figured out his home address and banging to their front door(basically the government authority) or someone that is greedy enough to hunt him. Well, this is just my speculative view as i believe that the truth will always set it free but too many scenarios that i am thinking of why would he suddenly returns it, if the news is true.

Well, i can't find the valid reason if someone would just make a fake news.
