Cysic Offers 10% White-Hat Bounty to Attacker, Demands 275.872 ETH Return in 72 Hours

The white-hat framing here is really a negotiation tactic: by offering the attacker a 10% cut and a 72-hour window, Cysic is trying to recover most of the ETH without litigation, while preserving the option to escalate to law enforcement. The disclosure that it has reconstructed the attack and retained on-chain evidence signals confidence in attribution, which raises the cost of non-compliance for whoever holds the funds. What matters for the broader token ecosystem is whether this bounty-style settlement becomes the template for post-exploit recoveries, and whether the 90% return actually materializes before the deadline. Until then, the 10 million minted CYS tokens remain the unresolved supply question.
