Blockchain sleuth ZachXBT reveals that the attacker who took funds from Scroll-supported lending protocol Rho Markets is willing to return all funds. The attacker clarified in an on-chain message that the incident was due to a configuration error, not a hack.
Earlier, blockchain security firm Cyvers Alerts reported that Rho Markets had suffered an attack affecting their USDC and USDT pools, resulting in $7.6 million in user funds being moved across several chains. Rho Markets and Scroll confirmed the attack and paused the platform for investigations. The attacker communicated willingness to return the funds, provided Rho Markets acknowledges the error and outlines preventive measures.
This incident highlights the importance of robust security configurations in DeFi protocols to prevent future losses and maintain user trust.
