In the aftermath of a $1.4 billion hack, Bybit has launched an offensive against the Lazarus Group, the suspected masterminds behind the breach.
Bybit Declares War on Lazarus Group
Bybit introduced a wallet API to trace funds linked to the exploit and announced a bounty for blockchain sleuths to aid in asset recovery.
The Battle for Recovery
Bybit engaged ZeroShadow and Chainalysis to investigate and reclaim stolen funds. Hackers employed a phishing campaign and converted assets into various cryptocurrencies.
Bybit’s Resilience Amid Crisis
Despite the heist, Bybit remains operational, keeping withdrawals open and securing external liquidity through loans. The investigation continues with new addresses identified daily.
With ongoing investigations, Bybit’s battle against the Lazarus Group is far from over, yet hopes for successful fund recovery persist.
