Covering an article from Merkle Science reports on a $1.5 billion hack of the Bybit cryptocurrency exchange, highlighting vulnerabilities in multi-signature cold storage. The attackers manipulated the user interface of transaction verification tools, causing operators to unwittingly authorise a malicious transfer, and the stolen funds were then laundered through complex methods including DEXs, address layering and non-KYC exchanges. This incident is similar to breaches at WazirX and Radiant Capital, indicating a broader systemic issue. Bybit responded swiftly, freezing assets and processing withdrawals efficiently, while Safe Wallet implemented enhanced security measures, and the incident is used to discuss recommended countermeasures including MPC wallets and improved training, The article also links the Bybit hack to other exchange breaches and stresses the need for stronger security and blockchain forensics to protect digital assets.
