Crypto exchange Bitfinex said it worked with authorities to recover about $315,000 in cash and cryptocurrencies stolen in a 2016 attack on its platform.
The US Department of Homeland Security recovered the funds as part of an ongoing prosecution of individuals connected to the hack, British Virgin Islands-based Bitfinex said in a statement on Thursday. Almost 120,000 Bitcoins were stolen, valued at around $72 million at the time. At the current market price, the haul is worth roughly $3.7 billion.
