After investigation, the platform now has a list of addresses of confirmed and suspected hackers.
The losses recorded following this hack are $265,000. Kyber Network promises to refund user funds. Indeed, 2 addresses would have been affected by the hack.

Nevertheless, he argues that there is no no more risk to use the platform and interact with the KyberSwap interface.
Separately, Kyber Network has disclosed how users can revoke approval for malicious code. Those who suspect an interaction with this code could therefore react quickly to take no risks. The platform also invites all DeFi projects to perform a “thorough verificationof their frontend code. Projects should also review the Google Tag Manager (GTM) scripts associated with this code.
