Golden Finance reported that, after the attacker of UwU Lend failed to return the funds, the protocol is taking another step to find the hacker. According to the Input Data Message (IDM) on Ethereum, UwU Lend has set a bounty of 5 million USD worth of ETH for the 'first to identify and find' the exploiters, and added, 'No need to recover funds or expenses'. Previously, the protocol had discussed setting up a bounty directly with the exploiters. Attackers can keep 20% of what they steal, as long as they return 80%. If the exploiters comply, the protocol states that it will not pursue the matter further and will not involve law enforcement. The attacker must return the funds by 1 pm (Eastern Time) on Wednesday. However, in the message sent to the attacker on Thursday, UwU Lend wrote, 'The deadline for returning the funds you stole has passed.'

Odaily Planet Daily News Etherscan tweeted that the Input Data Messages (IDM) section of the chain message has been updated, and users can read all chain messages on a single page.
