Bybit, one of the leading cryptocurrency exchanges, experienced a $1.5 billion hack, resulting in the largest crypto heist in history.
The breach targeted Bybit's cold wallet, leading to the theft of predominantly ether funds, which were then dispersed through various platforms.
The heist has been associated with North Korea's Lazarus Group, known for sophisticated laundering techniques and previous attacks on the crypto industry.
Bybit reassured customers by obtaining a bridge loan to cover losses and emphasized the need for stronger cybersecurity and regulations in the digital asset space.
