What the Bybit Hack Means for Crypto Security and the Future of Multisig Protection blog.checkpoint.com/security/…

In one of the largest thefts in digital asset history, hackers gained access to an offline Ethereum wallet and stole $1.5 billion worth of digital assets, primarily consisting of Ethereum tokens. The recent incident with Bybit marks a new phase in attack methods, featuring advanced techniques for manipulating user interfaces. Rather than just targeting protocol flaws, the attackers used clever social engineering to trick users, compromising a major institutional multisig setup.

The incident represents a significant evolution of these attack patterns, introducing sophisticated UI manipulation techniques not previously seen. Instead of just exploiting protocol mechanics, the attackers employed advanced social engineering through manipulated interfaces, allowing them to compromise a significant institutional multisig setup.
