Regarding fund recovery, a portion of the stolen funds has been identified and is being recovered from a CEX. We are actively working with other CEXs to facilitate the return of more funds through necessary processes. Regarding legal measures, in order to further recover the stolen funds, we are preparing to submit a police report. If the attacker does not cooperate in a timely manner, we will receive support from the police to assist in the fund recovery work. To further monitor the attacker's actions and prevent any further fund transfers, current forensic data is being shared with all relevant CEXs.
