On April 26, Loopscale was hacked, resulting in the loss of approximately $5.7 million in USD Coin and 1,200 Solana. Following the breach, the firm stopped all the operations and temporarily halted all markets to conduct an investigation.
The following day, Loopscale offered a 10% reward (equivalent to 3,947 SOL) in exchange for 90% of the stolen assets (35,527 SOL), promising the hacker immunity from legal repercussions. It appears that the hackers later accepted the offer. According to bitget.com.
