NEW YORK/LONDON :Hackers behind one of the biggest ever digital coin heists have now returned nearly all of the US$610 million-plus they stole, Poly Network, the cryptocurrency platform targeted earlier this week by the attack, said on Thursday.

The only remaining tokens yet to be returned are the US$33 million in tether stablecoins frozen earlier in the week by cryptocurrency firm Tether, Poly Network said. Poly Network, which allows users to transfer or swap tokens across different blockchains, said on Tuesday it had been hit by the cyberheist, urging the culprits to return the stolen funds.
