Bybit ETH multisig cold wallet got hacked. Bybit ETH multisig cold wallet just made a transfer to our warm wallet about 1 hr ago.

All withdraws are NORMAL.
I will keep you guys posted as more develops, If any team can help us to track the stolen fund will be appreciated.
401,346.768858404671846374 ETH got moved out from their cold wallet to the hackers wallet which is still under investigation, this hackers are just always busy and active waiting for the sligyes opportunity to take advantage of a loophole.
Lets see if this will be another case where everything will get recovered, the CEO already promised that customers funds are safe and all withdrawal are as active as normal, but this still calls for a security concern for those that use the exchange.
