#Bybit released the conclusions of their investigation into how they got rekt for $1.4 billion by North Korea's #LazarusGroup. Summary:

1. (background) Bybit were dumb enough to store billions of dollars in a single wallet contract using software from a company called SafeWallet (a "Gnosis Safe")

2. A dev machine of SafeWallet (name is lol) was compromised by Lazarus and used to access SafeWallet's cloud data stores (S3)

3. malicious JavaScript was pushed to the cloud drive and eventually distributed in a release (?).

4. The malicious JavaScript code targeted specifically the Bybit contract address to change the content of the transaction during the signing / approval process.

* Bybit reports: docsend.com/view/s/rmdi832mpt8
* Full Statement from SafeWallet: x.com/safe/status/189476852272

in a normal world Bybit could probably sue SafeWallet, but I'm sure SafeWallet barely exists as an entity.

Doc-comments (NatSpec) in Solidity are extremely important, because they are often the only source of documentation related to a smart contract.

Not happy with existing solutions, I decided to create my own, which ended up being 200x faster.

Ethereum prices are falling today after Bybit was hacked, with more than $1.4 billion worth being stolen. The crypto exchange's CEO Ben Zhou confirmed the attack but told customers that it will be able to manage the loss. "Bybit is solvent even if this hack loss is not recovered," he wrote on X. "All of clients' assets are 1-to-1 backed, we can cover the loss." Here's more from Decrypt.
