Attacker’s provocation
After Thunder Terminal was hacked, the attacker also provoked with on-chain messages, denouncing that notifications from Thunder were fake. They also threatened to delete all Thunder user data if they did not receive the 50 ETH amount. The project side has not had any feedback on this situation.
