BC.GAME has announced a $500,000 bounty for credible leads on an Ethereum wallet tied to a $4.37 million exploit of a third‑party game, prompting the crypto community to help trace the hacker. On‑chain tracking by EyeOnChain showed the attacker used about 1.7 million USDC from the stolen funds to open a $31 million short on ETH, which was liquidated with $1.53 million in losses after the price rose. BC.GAME publicly named the wallet and urged worldwide analysts and investigators to submit tips to identify the perpetrator or aid in asset recovery.
