Background

It is an impressive feat considering the hacker had stolen $320 million. Thanks to their efforts, the Wormhole platform was able to recover a significant portion of the stolen funds and was able to resume operations shortly afterward.
White Hat Agreement
The success of the counter exploit was due in part to a unique agreement reached between Wormhole and the hacker.
