Adshares bridge exploiter returns 256 ETH after $628K hack as analysts warn of recovery scams

The attacker behind the Adshares bridge exploit returned 256 ETH to the project's deployer, covering about 86% of the estimated $628,000 loss. The partial recovery reduces the immediate crypto and DeFi security impact and may help restore confidence in Adshares and token adoption, though roughly $88,000 remains unrecovered and counterparty risk persists.
