Keeta Network has issued a 72-hour ultimatum to the party behind a recent attack on its payment-focused blockchain, saying the attacker can avoid legal escalation only by returning all stolen funds in full. In a message addressed to the attacker, Keeta CEO Ty said the company’s investigation has made substantial progress and that it has collected evidence that could help identify those responsible. According to Ty, the material includes IP addresses tied to the attack, details on the VPN and VPS infrastructure used, user-agent and technical environment data linked to unauthorized requests, related email addresses, and information on software and infrastructure service providers. He said the evidence has been preserved and submitted to relevant parties. Keeta said repayment can be made in KTA, ETH, or USDC. If the full amount is returned within the deadline, the company said it is willing to offer a reward and resolve the matter without pursuing legal liability. If the funds are not returned on time, Keeta said it will retain all rights to seek legal action and pursue recovery of the assets.
