News Highlight

Cryptocurrency theft of £1.1bn could be biggest ever

Hackers stole $1.5bn (£1.1bn) from Bybit’s Ethereum wallet, making it possibly the largest crypto theft in history. The Dubai-based firm assured users their funds were safe and pledged to refund those affected. The attack caused Ethereum’s value to drop by around 4% on Friday.

Bybit founder Ben Zhou stated that the company, which holds $20bn (£15bn) in assets, could cover the loss or secure a loan from partners. The hackers exploited security features and transferred the stolen funds to an unknown address. Bybit has reported the incident to authorities and is working to track down those responsible.

The scale of the theft surpasses previous major crypto heists, including the $620m stolen from the Ronin Network in 2022. The incident raises fresh concerns about cryptocurrency security, as past hacks, like the 2014 Mt Gox collapse and the 2019 Binance breach, continue to shake investor confidence.
