DUBAI, UAE, Feb. 27, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Bybit, the world's second-largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume, today issued an important update to the community on the ongoing forensic investigation into the recent security incident. Our preliminary findings reaffirm the integrity of Bybit's infrastructure while providing crucial insights into the nature of the attack.
The forensic review into the targeted attack by the Lazarus Group concluded that the credentials of a Safe developer were compromised. This allowed the attacker to gain unauthorized access to the Safe(Wallet) infrastructure and totally deceive signers into approving a malicious transaction.
Bybit had engaged third-party forensic experts, including Verichains and Sygnia Labs, to conduct an independent review. Both forensic experts have found no indications of any compromise within Bybit's infrastructure as confirmed in SAFE's own statement relating to the compromise of its own environment.
