Bybit Hack Post-Mortem Identifies Safe Infrastructure as Exploit Point

Bybit's post-mortem analysis of its recent security breach identifies Safe's infrastructure as the exploitation point, sparking discussions on tightening current security protocols.

What’s the Scoop?

• Safe Infrastructure Breached: Bybit’s investigation into its massive $1.4 billion hack reveals that Safe’s wallet was the point of failure.

• Security Measures Questioned: The revelation has sparked widespread debate about the reliability of Safe’s widely trusted system, with many wondering if multisig wallets are as secure as once thought.
• Call for Improved Protocols: The breach has ignited urgent demands for stronger security frameworks, with experts and users pushing for enhanced verification processes and a rethink of blind-signing vulnerabilities.
