On July 19 the ethereum community was warned that the Parity client version 1.5 and above contained a critical vulnerability in the multi-signature wallet feature. Further, a group of multi-signature “black hat exploiters” has managed to drain 150,000 ether from multi-sig wallets and ICO projects...
Following this incident, a group of unknown “white hat group” hackers took it upon themselves to drain the rest of the vulnerable multi-sig wallets by sweeping the network. According to the group, they recovered 377,105 ether worth about $85M at the time of writing. The group says they will be returning the funds to accounts that have been drained and are using the DAO rescue donations for the gas to send the ether forward.
“The White Hat Group were made aware of a vulnerability in a specific version of a commonly used multisig contract,” explains the hacker’s announcement. “This vulnerability was trivial to execute, so they took the necessary action to drain every vulnerable multisig they could find as quickly as possible. Thank you to the greater Ethereum Community that helped finding these vulnerable contracts.” 2
