On 26 February statementThe US Federal Investigation Bureau of the Bureau of the North Korean hackers officially associated the heir. According to the FBI, the Bibit Hack, known as “Traderretor”, is part of a wide range of cyber attacks responsible for North Korean state-provided hackers.
Meanwhile, the forensic investigation by Signia Labs and Verichin confirmed that the safety of the byte remained despite the breech of the infrastructure. A detailed post -mortem of the hack revealed that vulnerability was associated with a safe wallet developer machine that was compromised.

Bybit has launched a website to track the laundering of its stolen funds and is offering a reward for the exchange that assist in recovering the property.
