The hacker returned 20,000 ETH stolen during the ICO Coindash

Coindash announced that 20,000 ETH had been returned to the wallet of the company with an address associated with a hacker who last year stole about 37,000 ETH during the ICO. This is the second time that the hacker returned funds to Coindash. On February 23, Coindash stated through the blog that 20,000 ETH were transferred to the company's wallet at 12:01:41 GMT. In July last year, the hacker changed the address for funds transfer, displayed on the Coindash website, and then stole about 37,000 ETH sent by ICO participants. At that time, the value of the coins was approximately $ 10 million. The 20,000 ETH returned by Coindash now cost about $ 17 million.

This is the second case of the Coindash funds return - 10 000 ETH were sent to one of the Coindash wallets on September 19, 2017. Ironically, the break-in, the victim of which Coindash became last year, and then described as "a terrible event for investors and the company", now turned to the developers positively, as the returned assets have significantly increased in price since last year.

According to the latest estimates, the total value of the returned 30,000 ETH exceeds $ 24 million - almost two and a half times the amount at which the coins were valued at the time of the theft.

The Coindash blog says that the company "notified the Israel Cyber Defense Department" about the transaction and that "the address of the hacker will be monitored for any suspicious activity."
