The apparent stand-off mirrors that of WazirX and Liminal Custody, which blamed each other following a $230 million exploit last July.

Following the revelation Friday from cryptocurrency exchange firm Bybit that hackers stole digital tokens worth about $1.5 billion – in what may be the biggest crypto heist of all time – CEO Ben Zhou wrote on X Sunday that it has replenished its reserves. Bybit was able to do this through a mix of emergency loans and large deposits.

The FBI, while late to the party, has confirmed the $1.4 billion theft of Ethereum from a Bybit cold wallet originated from North Korea.

The malicious Javascript code used in the attack could secretly modify transactions for SafeWallet, a cryptocurrency wallet provider.

Bybit CEO Ben Zhou announced that the exchange has fully recovered its Ethereum (ETH) reserves following a massive $1.5 billion exploit on February 21. He confirmed that a new audited Proof of Reserves (POR) report will soon be released to prove that client assets are once again backed 1:1.

After exchange operator loses ether from a cold wallet in a North Korea-linked attack, bitcoin and ether fall as industry enthusiasm wanes.
