        In response to the attack, the company paused its lending protocol on the Celo blockchain stating that the hacker was able to manipulate the price of MOO tokens to borrow collateral against their positions.&nbsp;

        Subsequently, the company announced that it was willing to negotiate a bounty if the hacker agreed to return the funds. This proposal was promptly accepted by the hacker who returned 93% of the stolen assets and donated a portion of the remainder.
