Suspected hacker behind $600 million Poly Network crypto heist did it 'for fun'

A person claiming to be the hacker behind one of the biggest cryptocurrency heists of all time says the theft was done "for fun."

More than $600 million worth of crypto was stolen in the cyberattack, which targeted a decentralized finance platform called Poly Network.

Decentralized finance is a fast-growing space within the crypto industry that aims to reproduce traditional financial products like loans and trading without the involvement of any middlemen.

While it has attracted billions of dollars in investment, the DeFi space has also given rise to new hacks and scams. For example, a token backed by billionaire investor Mark Cuban recently dropped from $60 to several thousandths of a cent in an apparent "bank run."

With $600 million I'm sure I could have a lot of fun.
