Goledo Finance, operating on Conflux eSpace, faced a significant security breach in its lending and borrowing market on January 28. The company identified Irregularities within its lending pool and immediately suspended it to prevent further unauthorized access.
An individual responsible for a cryptocurrency hack involving $1.7 million has reportedly contacted Goledo Finance to initiate negotiations.
The hacker’s message stated, “I hacked Goledo and want to negotiate 20240128.” This direct approach is typical in cybercrime scenarios, implying a potential strategy by the attacker to strengthen system weakness for rewards.
Goledo Finance has acknowledged its involvement in these negotiations and maintains a firm position on demanding the full return of the stolen tokens. The company has promised a reward and no legal action contingent on the full recovery of the funds.
Additionally, Goledo is collaborating with centralized exchanges and local authorities to freeze the hacker’s accounts and recover the funds.
Despite these efforts, Goledo Finance’s native token, GOL, has seen a substantial 35% decrease in value. The outcome of the negotiations and the impact on GOL’s market value remain uncertain.
