Yuga Labs CEO Flags Exploit, Quit Conducts White-Hat Rescue

The notable detail is not the rescue itself but its timing and framing: Yuga's CEO disclosed an exploit within hours and credited an in-house white hat, while a separate Magic Eden incident saw thousands of NFTs moved by a white-hat actor. Together they suggest that proactive, rapid intervention is becoming the expected response when NFT infrastructure is compromised, and that the line between exploit and rescue is increasingly communicated by the teams involved. Whether assets are actually returned once the risk clears, and how such disclosures are verified, is the open question.
