Bybit is a major centralized cryptocurrency exchange offering spot and derivatives trading, which suffered a record $1.5 billion hack in early 2025.
No evidence-backed relationships are recorded.
Greenfield Capital asked Switzerland's foundation watchdog to examine Safe's Zug foundation, whose board it says has at times had only two members. The early backer wants Stefan George replaced and independent directors added after months of talks failed.

Drift's DFX recovery token opened at about 0.0104 USDT per dollar lost in the $295.4 million April exploit, roughly one cent on the dollar. Paying every capped pledge in full would lift that to about 50 cents, and the other half depends on Velocity's revenue and on funds recovered from the attacker.

NEAR Intents' SHIELD layer refused all but $166,000 of a $50 million-plus attempt by Bitget's hackers. That makes screening policy the clearest difference between NEAR and THORChain. Each protocol carries a different exposure because of it.

Bitget CEO Gracy Chen doubts much of the $387.5 million stolen via a backend tied to a third-party security vendor will come back. So far about 0.2% of the loss has been frozen, so the exchange itself is paying for an outsourced security flaw.

Bitget says attackers stole $387.5 million after exploiting zero-days in two third-party security appliances. Investigators say the appliances' privileged access led the attacker to its production wallet server.
Reality
Bitget CEO Gracy Chen expects to recover little of the $388 million stolen from the exchange, citing Bybit's 3.5% freeze rate. On that benchmark about $13.6 million is frozen within a year and roughly $374 million stays with whoever carries the loss.
Reality
NEAR Intents' SHIELD blocked $50 million of Bitget hack funds while THORChain declined Bitget's request to stop the flow. Lawyer Yuriy Brisov says claimants can use that shown control against NEAR in cases far beyond this one.
Reality
Bitget customers pulled about $463 million in the first 24 hours after withdrawals reopened, more than the $388 million hackers stole on September 24. The protection fund covers the theft with about $76 million to spare, so the withdrawals now test whether the $5.7 billion left in reserves matches what Bitget owes customers.
Reality
Bitget says suspected North Korean attackers took $351.6 million from its hot and warm wallets by spoofing the transaction data that triggers its signing process. Its $464 million user protection fund, held in bitcoin, covers the loss.

Bitget CEO Gracy Chen publicly asked THORChain to refuse service to the wallets that took $387.5 million, after Circle and Tether stopped nearly $318,000. Much of the rest now depends on a no-KYC swap protocol that has declined to block stolen funds in earlier hacks, including its own.

Bitget now puts its September breach at $387.5 million, and AMLBot estimates $343 million of it sat untouched in 13 attacker wallets on Sept. 25. The phased withdrawals due from Sept. 28 are the better guide to whether customer money is safe.

THORChain turned down Bitget's request to block addresses tied to a suspected North Korean theft, though it paused its own chain over a $10.7 million hack in May. That pause showed its operators move fast when the loss is theirs. Exchanges downstream are left to screen what THORChain lets through.
Reality
Bitget CEO Gracy Chen asked Thorchain to refuse service to the hackers behind a theft the exchange now puts at $387.5 million. After the Bybit breach, Thorchain's validators reversed a trading halt within 30 minutes, so recovery plans have little reason to count on the protocol's help.
Reality
Bitget says attackers took over a wallet backend system and fed its authorization process spoofed data, moving out $387.5 million without stolen keys. For teams running payouts, the data an approver trusts now belongs on the same review list as the keys.

Tokenized equities now count 1.4 million holders, up 447.5% in six months. The growth is a distribution story, and the average position is still very small.

Check Point's deobfuscation of 23 compiled V8 bytecode samples shows JSCeal replaying stolen cookies inside the victim's own browser profile, then stuffing local credentials at any password prompt until it holds a fresh OAuth token.
Reality
Bitget says attackers took over a wallet backend, faked transaction data and got the exchange's own authorization process to move $351.6 million out. No key was reported stolen, so the failure is in where the approvers got their facts.

SentinelOne has documented North Korea's Jade Sleet inside a small Indian IT services provider, using Rust backdoors built for Apple Silicon and a Terraform lock file that points developers at a fake HashiCorp registry.
Reality
Bitget CEO Gracy Chen ties a $351 million breach of the exchange's online wallets to North Korean hackers and says a $464 million user fund covers it. Paying it out could leave about $113 million in reserve while withdrawals stay frozen and Bitget still cannot say how the attackers got in.
Reality
BitMEX is charging verified users $50 a month, or 1% a year if greater, on balances left after it closed its exchange on September 23. Below $60,000 the flat charge sets the rate, so a $1,000 balance loses 60% a year.
