I haven't seen anything elsewhere on the forum about the phenomenal Bybit hack that has just taken place. The hackers are said to be from the Lazarus group, and they are allegedly reselling the fruit of the thefts. Evidently a massive withdrawal of cryptos is taking place right now, while Bybit's funds would be sufficient to cover the losses. You can follow this infernal saga on X.  Shocked
I have seen it in the our local board and from what I saw from the CEO's statement, the hack was only for Ethereum and every other coins are saved and secured and their are tracking the scammers to recover the funds. And after the hacked, they have released 4,000+ withdrawal though the withdrawal is slow. But withdrawal is going smoothly without obstruction. And the first panic withdrawal and been reduced.
After the hacked $560m USDT were deposited in Bybit. This are so.e of the reasons why id not good to keep your coins in centralized exchanges.
