COSS hack (part 2)

The whole story took almost 2 weeks. Hack, sleepless nights, trying to solve a problem, a lot of discussions, distrust of me and many other negative points. All of this resulted in a public call to action. My previous post on Reddit caused a very strong impact among the community. Among the community were haters and those who simply did not believe me and those who actively volunteered to help with finding a solution for funds recovery. There were different options offered on the funds recovery in the Telegram chat . Finally at one moment one of community members text this:https://ift.tt/2JyarY5 I can see that was the very thing that helped to resolve this situation.I do not fully understand how exactly this function worked, but thanks to the coordinated actions of the COSS team funds were recovered. Telegram announcement was made the next morning:mr Runehttps://imgur.com/cPTZmnoRazznerhttps://imgur.com/aNGcgXUAnd finally huge thanks to that guy:https://ift.tt/2Dixgyr volume of COSS tokens stolen by the hacker was approximately 10% of the circulating supply. 10% is the same amount that was returned to investors when the hack of the DAO contract happened.https://ift.tt/2Jyau6d this case, no hardfork was required. A specific function was used in the smart contract.Of course, the return of funds led to certain rumors:https://ift.tt/2DiJxDh decision -> multi signature -> single result and stolen funds were successfully recoveredhttps://imgur.com/5cwIfaxI am very grateful to those guys who kept neutrality and especially those who support me in a difficult time. I’m not going to list all of them here in order to preserve their anonymity. But I already had an opportunity to thank them.I am also grateful to the exchange’s support team and of course CEO of Rune Evensen. It would be impossible to recover the stolen funds without their help. This is the rare case when the exchange managed to return user’s funds almost in full.I am truly glad that I can share this news with CC community.Funds recovered:11 500 000 COSS tokens19 000 EOS{"address": "0x40da1ca511acb55f8d7ca121fe3a4d70b184f07e","msg": "Funds recovered!
