Title: Well-meaning hacker saved Polygon from $20 billion loss
Post by: Oxumare on December 30, 2021, 09:56:57 AM
A very scary title, but true.It was announced that a hacker found and reported a bug that put 9 billion MATICs on the network at risk. The hacker was given a $2.2 million bounty.
Another group of hackers managed to steal $1.4 million MATIC.Using the nickname "Leon Spacewalker" on GitHub, the hacker reported a bug in the Polygon smart contract to Polygon employees on December 3rd. The bug has been fully fixed by the protocol engineers as of December 5th

Currently very often something like this happens, I think the hackers are planning to try the security system in that protocol and they managed to see the loopholes, hopefully this doesn't happen in the future and the engineers soon find bugs that can harm the matic protocol in the future.

very worrying .. polygon security that is easy to exploit. I still believe in the old top coins which have a more secure security system

It's really sad if that happens because the value is very large when hacked and it looks like this Polygon does give a bad value but it looks like Polygon has bounced back.
But the hacker was given a $2.2 million bounty and this is really very extraordinary and the value of the bounty is very large and this is very reasonable and that's very good thank you for what happened.

20 million USD is very large and it is proper that 2 million USD is a gift for bounty hunters by knowing the bugs in the Polygon Matic network and I am sure that Polygon Matic can run smoothly and get more security now in its Smartcontracts.
I believe and hope that this Polygon Matic will not have another drama like this because I see that Polygon Matic is a coin that already has a very large market cap and a large community.

All systems in cryptocurrencies must have what is called a weakness and this weakness is in the Polygon Matic coin, which is more precisely the leak of the Smartcontracts system.
If this thread has provided something very good for the development of the Polygon Matic coin, then I definitely feel I will also feel that all cryptocurrencies must have weaknesses and continue to be upgraded to be the best.

It takes a very wide freedom for all the core team of Polygon Matic because the evidence looks like now if the Polygon Matic coin got something very shocking from the hackers and this is really very sad but in fact this is what happened to the Polygon Matic coin.
The technology is getting better day by day and I am sure the team of cryptocurrency experts from Polygon Matic will understand very well what has happened so far and it is only natural that this Polygon Matic coin has an extra level of security so that it doesn't happen again.

Leon Spacewalker will be a memory for Polygon Matic and this will really be the right choice for Polygon Matic to continue to respond to problems that occur in Polygon Matic technology.
Leon Spacewalker may also be very grateful to Polygon Matic for providing a super nice reward of 2.2 million USD as a bug search in the smart contracts system in Polygon Matic coins.
