To reduce the risk of a second attack, Indexed DAO passed a ‘poison pill’ proposal that would allow burning remaining treasury funds if necessary to dissuade attackers.

When the second attack went as expected, the attackers initially reportedly attempted to negotiate for 50% of the remaining treasury. On-chain message. Indexed founder Dillon Kellar offered $10,000 in DAI stablecoin and threatened to burn the attacker’s entire treasury if he did not accept.

With four hours left until Kellar’s ultimatum, the attacker attempted to counter-negotiate for $17,000 before accepting the original offer and canceling the malicious offer. Control of the DAO now reverts to multisig, controlled by Day, Kellar, and pseudonymous co-founder PR0. PR0 plans to repay hacking victims in 2021 with remaining treasury funds.

“We’ll deal with the administrative hassles later, but the Indexed saga is over.” Day Posted.
