Lazarus Group has a long history of targeting crypto platforms, such as the 2022 Ronin Bridge exploit. More recently, they took responsibility for the Bybit hack, one of the largest digital exploits in history.

Limited Response

Despite the seriousness of the situation, the crypto community has shown limited response. With no confirmed financial losses or specific tokens affected, the issue remains under the radar for many industry leaders.

Experts suggest that incidents like these could lead to stricter regulations and greater emphasis on cybersecurity, potentially impacting investor confidence and slowing innovation in upcoming crypto projects.
