Sui Official: Numerous Network Validators Have Rejected Transactions from Hacker Addresses, Cetus Plans to Return Stolen Funds to the Community

On May 22, Sui officially stated, "We have learned that one of Cetus's smart contracts was attacked today, resulting in a loss of approximately $223 million. Following the incident, Cetus has suspended its smart contract to prevent further theft of funds.

Cetus is working closely with other DeFi protocols, the Sui Foundation, and validators of the Sui network to protect the entire ecosystem. A large number of validators have identified the addresses involved in the funds and will refuse to process transactions from these addresses until further notice.

The Cetus team is actively exploring ways to recover the funds and plans to return the stolen funds to the community. Cetus will release a full incident report.

The Sui Foundation and the entire ecosystem will fully support Cetus in responding to this incident."
