The attack on the cryptocurrency exchange Bybit has sparked concern among financial and technological circles. According to the FSB statement, one of the largest platforms for trading digital currencies, Bybit, suffered a serious cyberattack, as a result of which a large sum of Ethereum was stolen.
Bybit's Chief Director, Ben Zhou, confirmed that this incident is unprecedented and stated that the platform compensates users for losses that are not subject to return. In turn, the group "Arham Intelligence," specializing in the analysis of cryptocurrency transactions, reported that approximately 1.36 billion dollars worth of stolen funds are actively being moved between wallets in an attempt to cover up the traces of the theft.
This incident serves as a reminder of the importance of cybersecurity and compels investors and trading platforms to implement strict measures to protect their digital assets from emerging threats in the world of cryptocurrency trading. It is important to note that the FSB stated the involvement of North Korea in one of the largest operations of theft in the history of digital assets, during which cryptocurrency was stolen for a total of 1.5 billion dollars.
