Background: The security session after the Poly Network theft was already scheduled, and the team was trying to turn the industry shock into its own review habits. A-Zhen was sorting out technical boundaries, while Night Watchman watched community trust. As assets began to be returned, dramatic news could make it seem as if the danger had passed.
Today: The hacker began returning Poly Network assets, making the story seem surreal. The team still carried out the planned security review instead of canceling checks because of the returns. A-Zhen asked the group to go through permissions, keys, and incident response one by one; Night Watchman reminded everyone that progress on returns did not mean every system was safe.
Impact and next steps: The returns eased the immediate mood around the incident, but they did not complete the team’s security preparation. Discussion shifted from following the news to examining the team’s own process. The next step remained assigning an owner to each check and deciding how to escalate findings; whether the plan was specific enough still needed to be settled.
