ChainCatcher message, Bybit CEO Ben Zhou posted on platform X that about 1 hour ago, Bybit's ETH multi-signature cold wallet just transferred to our hot wallet. It appears that this specific transaction was forged, and all signers saw a forged UI that displayed the correct address, with the URL coming from Safe.eth.

However, the signature information was intended to change the smart contract logic of our ETH cold wallet. This allowed hackers to control the specific ETH cold wallet we signed and transfer all ETH from the cold wallet to this unidentified address. Rest assured, all other cold wallets are secure. All withdrawals are normal.
