Blockstream Rules Out Ransom Payment After Liquid Network Bitcoin Theft
AI مارکیٹ کا خلاصہ
Blockstream's refusal to pay a ransom after the Liquid Network exploit signals a hardline stance against extortion and reduces moral hazard for future attacks, but also raises near-term uncertainty around recovery timelines for stolen BTC. Cooperation with law enforcement, exchanges, and forensic firms may improve traceability and potential freezing of funds, while keeping attention on sidechain and custody security practices across the Bitcoin ecosystem.

Blockstream said it will not pay a ransom to recover bitcoin stolen in the Liquid Network exploit, dismissing the attackers' attempt to portray themselves as white hats.
"Taking assets without authorization and withholding their return is a crime, not responsible disclosure. It is not whitehat activity. It is theft," the company said.
Blockstream said it has engaged in good faith with those currently holding the bitcoin in an effort to recover stolen user funds, but will not meet their demands or set a precedent of paying ransoms tied to exploits of open-source software.
If the remaining funds are not returned, Blockstream said it will work with law enforcement, exchanges, service providers, forensic specialists and the broader Bitcoin community to trace the assets and identify those responsible. Its message to the holders of the bitcoin: "Return the bitcoin."
