A crypto scammer returned $9.27 million (about 38.26%) of the $24.23 million stolen in a September 2023 phishing attack that exploited token "increaseAllowance" approvals. Scam Sniffer reported the incident, linked the attacker to multiple phishing sites, and observed some stolen funds routed to the FixedFloat exchange; the article frames this partial restitution as an unusual but not unprecedented outcome and references similar historical recoveries.
