Whitehat hacker accuses Injective of ghosting after $500M bug disclosure

A pseudonymous security researcher has accused blockchain firm Injective of lowballing a bounty on a bug which put $500M at risk.

WazirX was hacked on July 18 and funds, including $100 million worth of SHIB and $52 million in ETH have reportedly already been sold.
