The SUI validator froze $160 million in hacking funds by rejecting the package transaction

Gate News bot message, according to analyst Haotian’s report, Sui network validators achieved the freezing of 160 million dollars in stolen funds by directly ignoring transactions from hacker addresses during the transaction pool (mempool) phase.

Although these transactions are technically valid, the hacker is unable to transfer assets such as USDC and SUI from their controlled address because the validators refuse to package them on-chain.

The Sui official has announced plans to return these frozen funds to the pool. However, based on the validators’ “refusal to package transactions” mechanism, these funds theoretically cannot be moved, and the specific implementation of this return operation has not yet been clarified.
