🚨 METAMASK JUST STARTED EXITING ETH VALIDATORS AFTER A SECURITY INCIDENT. MetaMask says an ongoing security incident hit part of its infrastructure, forcing it to proactively exit affected validators from its non-custodial staking operations. The company says it has found no immediate threat to MetaMask wallets so far. The key detail? These validators are tied to Lido staking, and the exit process may temporarily remove ETH from staking while the investigation continues. Lido-related reports say the full exit, withdrawal and re-entry cycle could take up to roughly 45 days. That means the market should separate two things: Wallet users are not currently being told they’re at immediate risk. But validator infrastructure clearly was serious enough to trigger an emergency exit. And when one of Ethereum’s biggest wallet brands starts pulling validators as a precaution, traders pay attention. Security incidents don’t need stolen funds to become market-moving. Sometimes the reaction itself is the signal. 👀 $ETH $LDO #metamaskexitslidovalidatorsaftersecurityincident
