Bybit Confirms Security Integrity Amid Safe (Wallet) Incident – No Compromise in Infrastructure

DUBAI, UAE, Feb. 26, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Bybit, the world’s second-largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume, today issued an important update to the community on the ongoing forensic investigation into the recent security incident. Our preliminary findings reaffirm the integrity of Bybit’s infrastructure while providing crucial insights into the nature of the attack.
The forensic review into the targeted attack by the Lazarus Group concluded that the credentials of a Safe developer were compromised. This allowed the attacker to gain unauthorized access to the Safe(Wallet) infrastructure and totally deceive signers into approving a malicious transaction.
Bybit had engaged third-party forensic experts, including Verichains and Sygnia Labs, to conduct an independent review. Both forensic experts have found no indications of any compromise within Bybit’s infrastructure as confirmed in SAFE’s own statement relating to the compromise of its own environment.
Full report can be downloaded here: https://docsend.com/view/s/rmdi832mpt8u93s7
Bybit’s Immediate Response and Future Measures
Bybit had moved the majority of funds out of its Safe Wallet administered addresses on the day of the incident. Ensuring the safety and security of our users remains our top priority. We actively evaluate alternative wallet solutions for custody that meet the highest security standards.
Bybit is and remains 100% secure. Our preliminary forensics experts have concluded that our infrastructure was not compromised. We will continue to enhance our security measures and collaborate with top security experts to uphold our commitment to user safety.
Statement from Ben Zhou, Co-founder and CEO of Bybit:
“Bybit remains steadfast in our commitment to security and transparency. The preliminary forensic review finds that our system was not compromised. While this incident underscores the evolving threats in the crypto space, we are taking proactive steps to reinforce security and ensure the highest level of protection for our users.”

Compass Mining Expands with 20 MW Hydro-Cooled Bitcoin Mining Facility in North Dakota

5.5 MW of the Next-Generation Antminer S21 Hydro Machines Already Energized for Institutional Client
WILMINGTON, Del., Feb. 26, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Compass Mining (“Compass” or the “Company”), a leading provider of Bitcoin mining hardware, hosting, and operational solutions, is pleased to announce the launch of a new 20-megawatt (MW) Bitcoin mining facility in North Dakota. The facility is equipped with the water-cooled Antminer S21 Hydro machines, with 5.5 MW of capacity already energized by Compass. The remaining machines will be phased in over the coming months to meet growing demand from Compass’s clients.
This expansion allows Compass to immediately provide hosting services to both institutional investors and individual miners. Effective immediately, customers purchasing machines through Compass’s platform—starting with a minimum order quantity (MOQ) as low as one unit—will have the option to deploy them at the “North Dakota 2″ site.
“Our continued expansion of both self-owned and partner-operated facilities reflects our commitment to offering flexible and efficient Bitcoin mining solutions,” said Shanon Squires, Chief Mining Officer at Compass Mining. “The introduction of hydro-cooling technology provides our clients with a more powerful and energy-efficient mining option while ensuring long-term machine durability.”
The newly energized 5.5 MW of power capacity consists of 1,000 units of the Antminer S21 Hydro, the newest generation of bitcoin mining machines. These machines use advanced water blocks to dramatically improve cooling efficiency compared to traditional air-cooled systems. This results in increased processing power, reduced energy consumption, and a more stable operating environment, minimizing downtime and maximizing long-term performance.
Compass Mining’s strategic approach combines self-owned facilities, such as its recent Iowa 4 site, with high-uptime third-party partnerships to maximize operational reliability. In 2024, Compass energized approximately 50 MW of mining capacity across sites in Indiana, Iowa, Ohio, Kentucky, Nebraska, and Texas, reinforcing its position as the leading provider of hosting and operational solutions for bitcoin mining.
