Cryptocurrency exchange Bybit revealed today that an unknown attacker stole over $1.46 billion worth of cryptocurrency from one of its ETH cold wallets.
"The incident occurred when our ETH multisig cold wallet executed a transfer to our warm wallet. Unfortunately, this transaction was manipulated through a sophisticated attack that masked the signing interface, displaying the correct address while altering the underlying smart contract logic," Bybit explained.
