The biggest theft of encryption

The BYBIT attack led to the greatest theft of any encryption exchange so far. Analysts on the series linked the attack to the notorious Lazaros Group in North Korea. Bybit has also launched a $ 140 million bonus program to raise threads on the huge electronic attack.

Although the exchange did not publicly define the weakness that led to the attack, its CEO said, “We know that the reason is definitely about the safe cold wallet. Whether it is a problem with our own laptops or on Safe, we do not know.”

Safe is a protocol for the decentralized custody that provides smart contracts portfolios for digital asset management. Some safe exchanges are merged, allowing users to keep their money control while using multiple signature functions to improve their cold wallet safety.

In the aftermath of the BYBIT attack, Safe Safe closed SMART, which increased the stock market fears that were hacked about rising withdrawal requests. However, it is coordinated with safe platforms and other platforms to create a smooth process and honor withdrawals.
