Bybit recovers after violating security in February
In February 2025, a cold bybit's ethereum wallet was hacked. The infiltrators were able to steal digital assets of $ 1.4 billion. The mobilizers (STTH) and Mantle Staked Eth (METH) included.
Violation raised serious concerns about the weak central exchanges, even those that have advanced security protocols.
After the penetration, the BYBIT share of the Crypto Spot market sharply decreased to about 4 %. Despite the initial fall, a Modern report From Analytics Block Schools, it shows that the second largest coded currency exchange in the world gradually recovers their position on the market.
As of April 9, the market share on the stock exchange reached about 7 %, and its location match before exploitation. Coinmarketcap data links the average bybit of 713, with a size of $ 4.29 billion in 24 hours. This folder compares with Binance 26.79 billion dollars.
The recovery is associated with the renewal of positive feelings between market participants and a bounce in trading sizes.
After the violation, the Bybit partnership with Zodia Custody has been held to enhance its security. This step is expected to improve liquidity options for retail users and may have played a major role in restoring investor confidence.
Analysts indicated that the decrease in market activity coincided with the translation of encryption investors due to the wider macroeconomic concerns. This behavior began to get rid of penetration even before penetration.
This indicates that not all of the preliminary market of bybitit resulted directly from the accident.
The Lazaros Group has been charged, and most of the money is tracked
More investigations conducted by the FBI (FBI) confirmed that the North Korean Lazaros Corps group was behind the theft.
The prominent Blockchain companies, including Arkham Intelligence, followed the attackers while washing the stolen money using Thorchain, which is a non -central protocol. Smooters took 10 days to launder money through various transactions.
However, their efforts were not sufficient, as Blockchain's analysis revealed that nearly 89 % of the stolen assets remained traceable. Some security experts noted that the accident is evidence of the increasing effectiveness of tracking tools, even when infiltrators try to hide behind decentralized privacy networks.
Eric Jardin, an electronic crime researcher at Chainalysis, has noticed a significant decrease in piracy activity in North Korea after July 1, 2024. This decline linked to the change of resources in the aftermath of a summit between Russia and North Korea, which may have resulted in the restoration of individuals to support military efforts in Ocreen.
Analysts believe that this development gave the Lazaros group a time to reassemble the group and plan the BYBIT attack.
