According to ZachXBT’s investigation, the attacker took 86.5 ETH (equivalent to about 192,000 USD) and transferred this amount to Railgun.

Immediately afterward, Thunder Terminal promptly prevented the security incident, affirming that no wallet had its private key compromised and pledging to refund money to those affected.

In the announcement, they wrote:

Only 114 wallets out of more than 14,000 wallets were compromised. The funds are safe and we stopped the attack in less than 9 minutes.

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.
