ChainCatcher news, according to Slow Fog's Yu Xian, the previous incident where $5 million worth of ZK tokens were stolen due to the leakage of the administrator's private key has been resolved, and the stolen funds have been fully recovered. It is reported that during the handling of the incident, Matter Labs, the maintainer of the sole sequencer for ZKSync, intervened with the hacker's address and successfully restricted the transfer of 70% of the stolen funds. Matter Labs stated that the reason for the intervention was that the stolen ZK tokens were directly related to protocol governance.

Yu Xian said, "I understand, but I feel a bit regretful about some previous theft incidents on ZKSync that were not 'internal matters'."
