Cointelegraph reported that an anonymous whitehat, 0xflorent, worked with developers to restore access to funds worth about $2 million at current prices. The funds belong to 48 ICO participants. On-chain records show some refunds have begun, though it was unclear if all investors had been repaid.

Ethereum daily transactions hit record high but address poisoning fears grow
Ethereum’s daily transactions topped 3.62 million in late April, a record, but concerns are growing that much of the increase reflects the spread of address poisoning attacks rather than expanded real use. Falling fees have boosted on-chain access, with basic transfers at about $0.004 and complex swap costs down to $0.07. On-chain analysis put 2026 losses from address poisoning at $62 million, as tools circulate on Telegram and attack methods become more complex.
