Bybit Suffers $1.4 Billion Ether Hack, Plunging Crypto Markets Into Chaos

Cryptocurrency exchange Bybit has reportedly lost over $1.4 billion in liquid-staked Ether (stETH) and MegaETH (mETH) in a massive hack, according to on-chain security analyst ZackXBT. Bybit co-founder and CEO Ben Zhou confirmed that the breach involved an unauthorized transfer from the exchange’s multisignature wallet to a warm wallet. The transaction was disguised as legitimate but contained malicious code that altered the smart contract logic, allowing funds to be siphoned off. Zhou reassured users, stating, “Please rest assured that all other cold wallets are secure. All withdrawals are NORMAL. I will keep you guys posted as more develops.” Rising Security Threats in Crypto The hack adds to a growing list of security breaches in the crypto industry, which has seen an uptick in attacks throughout 2024 and early 2025. Security experts have urged users to blacklist addresses linked to the exploit to prevent further losses.
