Liquid white hat hacker group demands Blockstream pay 10% bug bounty for $5 billion in assets

According to Odaily Planet Daily, as monitored by Bitcoin News, the white hat hacker group behind the Liquid exploit has accused Blockstream of spending only $1.5 million—or possibly nothing at all—to secure $5 billion in assets. In a new on-chain message, the group demanded that Blockstream allocate its own funds to pay a bug bounty equivalent to 10% of the associated assets, warning that refusal to pay would result in a 15% loss for holders. The group also stated it would release the private keys used to decrypt previous communications with Blockstream. Earlier, the group had returned 3,400 BTC to the Liquid Federation, with approximately 600 BTC still unrepaid.
