Current Status of the ByBit Hack
BTC price was recorded at $87,870 after briefly dropping to $85,418 during the preparation of this article. Safe provided updates concerning the recent hack incident, confirming the attack’s attribution to Lazarus based on forensic findings. The company accepts its involvement due to a breach in its developer machine.
“Important! The forensic examination by external security researchers did NOT SHOW any vulnerabilities in the Safe smart contracts or in the source code of the frontend and services.”
Following the incident, the Safe{Wallet} team conducted a thorough investigation, and now they have restored Safe{Wallet} on the Ethereum
$1,822 mainnet through a phased rollout. The team has completely rebuilt and restructured all infrastructure, ensuring that all credentials are rotated to completely eliminate the attack vector.
Safe{Wallet} frontend continues to operate with added security measures. However, users must remain extremely cautious and vigilant while signing transactions.
