REKT covered Deribit’s $28 million hot-wallet theft from Ethereum and Bitcoin networks, including 6,968 ETH, 3.4 million USDC, and 691 BTC. Deribit said the loss would be covered by reserves, that most user funds were in cold storage, and that withdrawals and deposit addresses were temporarily affected. The article lists the attacker’s ETH and BTC addresses and frames the compromise as likely related to hot-wallet key exposure, while noting that only insiders could know the true cause. It mentions Lazarus only as contextual speculation because several prior bridge hacks, including Ronin, were linked to North Korean state-sponsored hackers; the source does not prove Lazarus involvement in Deribit.
