Digging deeper into the $1.4 billion hack of bybit. We will see that this can happen to any organization. It happens just like a spy movie that you often watch on netflix. Many of you wonder why bybit is careless and doesn't check. NO. Maybe the hacker hacked into bybit's internal network in some ways like MIM, phishing... and took control of the internal safe system. The hacker will fake the information on the UI as the ceo bybit said (maskUI) but in fact the internet system underneath is performing another action like granting permission to the hacker. This is really difficult for those who manage multisig. 👉 An example: you receive a request to approve the transfer of 1ETH to a wallet address A like every day. And as usual you see it displays a valid UI on the internal safe. OK, the small value, you will sign the approval quickly. BUT BOOM. Behind the scenes, the system is granting permission to a strange address to withdraw the maximum amount of ETH in the wallet. DONE. YOU HAVE BEEN HACKED. I think it is very important to re-check the security of the internal system. And one more thing is that the community needs to remove wallets marked as hacked. It will make the hacked tokens unsellable. #BybitWalletHack

$ETH {future}(ETHUSDT) In a significant security breach, cryptocurrency exchange Bybit has reported the theft of approximately $1.5 billion in digital assets, primarily in Ethereum tokens. This incident stands as one of the largest in the history of digital asset thefts. The attackers managed to compromise one of Bybit's offline Ethereum wallets, commonly referred to as a "cold wallet," which is typically considered more secure than online "hot" wallets. Bybit's CEO, Ben Zhou, confirmed the breach and assured users that the exchange is securing a bridge loan from partners to compensate for any unrecovered assets. The stolen Ethereum was quickly dispersed across multiple accounts and sold, complicating recovery efforts. This event underscores the persistent security challenges within the cryptocurrency industry, which has seen a resurgence in large-scale thefts in recent years. Researchers suggest that North Korean hackers may be responsible for this attack, potentially making North Korea one of the largest holders of Ether following the heist. In response to the breach, Bybit has stated that customer assets remain secure and that the platform continues to operate without interruption. The company is collaborating with blockchain experts to investigate the incident and enhance security measures to prevent future occurrences. This event highlights the ongoing vulnerabilities within the cryptocurrency sector, emphasizing the need for robust security protocols and continuous vigilance against sophisticated cyber threats. #BybitHack #BTC #BybitWalletHack
