On February 21, 2025, DPRK Lazarus Group operators drained 1.46 billion USD in ETH and liquid-staked derivatives from Bybit's Ethereum cold multisig without exploiting any smart contract bug. Compromising a Safe developer workstation allowed attackers to inject targeted AWS S3 frontend JavaScript that tricked three hardware-wallet signers into blind-signing an operation=1 DELEGATECALL overwriting proxy storage slot zero.
