Kids these days. Back when I was young, to steal that much money you needed to stab a guy.
'The biggest heist in digital history' helps send crypto plunging
Part of today’s reaction appears to be a couple of days late – analysts believe that one of the problems is a hack on Bybit last week, which was the “biggest heist in digital history”.
Last week's 1.5 billion dollar (£1.2 billion) theft of ether, the token which powers the Ethereum blockchain network, from the crypto exchange Bybit, dampened sentiment.
The Dubai-based platform, which allows users to buy and sell crypto with one another, said an attacker gained control of someone's digital wallet containing the funds and transferred them to an unknown blockchain address.
Bybit's chief executive Ben Zhou said at the time that the platform "is solvent even if this hack loss is not recovered, all of clients assets are 1 to 1 backed, we can cover the loss".
