On March 26, roughly around 9:30 pm UTC, Ethereum-basedgame Munchables reported a hack that drained over 17,400 ETH from the GameFi app.
On March 27, 4:40 am UTC, Munchables identified the hacker as one of its developers. An hour of negotiations led the former developer to agree to return the hacked funds. In an official statement, Munchables said: The creator of the Ethereum layer-2 blockchain Blast, who uses the pseudonym Pacman, thanked ZachXBT for his support, as he announced that “the ex-Munchables dev opted to return all funds in the end without any ransom required.”As Munchables was built on top of the Blast blockchain, Pacman will work with the Munchables team to help redistribute the stolen — now recovered — funds.
