Oh my god, it's unbelievable. Can you imagine it? The biggest cryptocurrency thief in history has emerged in the world, can we catch him with a sky high reward of 140 million US dollars? 1. Bybit, the world's second-largest cryptocurrency exchange, has recently encountered a major event! They were hacked and stole $1.5 billion worth of cryptocurrency, which is simply shocking! But Bybit is not a vegetarian either. They have decided to offer a reward of $140 million, or 10% of the recovered funds, to recruit global cybersecurity experts, blockchain analysts, and ethical hackers to join this "digital pursuit". 2. The hacking attack this time was quite cunning, as they stole over $1.4 billion worth of mobile staked Ethereum (stETH), Mantle Staked ETH (mETH), and other tokens, and then quickly transferred and whitewashed them through various means. It is said that the Lazarus Group in North Korea is related to this attack, and 5000 Ethereum coins have been laundered and exchanged for Bitcoin. 3. Bybit CEO Ben Zhou stated that they will not sit idly by, but will take the initiative to mobilize the entire cryptocurrency security community. He also promised that anyone who helps recover stolen assets will receive generous rewards. At the same time, Bybit is actively reforming its security measures to prevent similar incidents from happening again in the future. 4. Despite heavy losses, Bybit's solvency remains strong, with reserves exceeding liabilities. In order to maintain liquidity, they also repurchased a large amount of Ethereum. Despite facing the largest cryptocurrency theft in history, Bybit processed over 350000 withdrawal requests within 10 hours, with 99.9% completed before dawn. Ben also stated that despite being severely hacked, all features and products of Bybit are operating normally. 5. Can this' digital pursuit 'be successful? Can a bounty of 140 million US dollars recover stolen funds? Come and share your opinions in the comment section!
