On February 3, the Federal Court in Brooklyn, United States, publicly disclosed the identity of the perpetrator behind the $47 million Kyber Elastic attack. Immediately after, the head of Kyber Elastic expressed gratitude for the investigative cooperation of domestic and international organizations, particularly the Vietnam Blockchain Association.

On February 3, 2025, an indictment was released by the Federal Court in Brooklyn (U.S.), charging Andean Medjedovic, a 22-year-old Canadian national, with wire fraud, computer intrusion, and attempted extortion. The charges stem from his theft of approximately $65 million in crypto assets from two decentralized finance (DeFi) protocols—KyberSwap (over $47 million) and Indexed Finance (over $16 million).

Following the indictment’s release, Tran Huy Vu, CEO and Co-Founder of Kyber Network, expressed his appreciation to the Vietnam Blockchain Association (VBA) for its collaboration and support in addressing this attack.

Notably, the Vietnam Blockchain Association, as the only professional social organization in Vietnam, played a crucial role in the investigation and provided accurate information to the community,” emphasized Tran Huy Vu.

The Kyber executive also stated that immediately after the incident, Kyber Network made every effort to mitigate the damage and fully compensate users for their legitimate losses.
