HACK

A lively birthday party, balloons floating, music pumping, and friends cheering. Suji Yan, the clever mind behind Mask Network, was turning 29, and the night felt magical. But then, in a blink—just 11 minutes—everything flipped. Over $4 million in digital goodies, like ETH, WETH, MASK, and USDT, vanished from his phone’s public wallet. It was like a thief sneaked into the party and snatched the cake right off the table!
The crypto world buzzed with excitement. Suji shared the shocking news on X, and soon everyone was talking. Was it a super-smart hacker? A tech glitch? Or maybe someone at the party playing a sneaky trick? The hype grew fast, pulling in curious minds from all corners of the internet.
Digging into the Digital Dirt
Suji wasn’t about to let this mystery stay unsolved. He teamed up with the best of the best: SlowMist, a group of blockchain heroes who know how to spot trouble, and ZachXBT, a crypto detective with a reputation for catching digital bad guys. Together, they rolled up their sleeves and got to work.
Here’s what they uncovered: this wasn’t some random robot attack. Someone with real hands was behind it. An AI tool from Cyvers Alerts caught the odd moves—transactions zipping around for 11 minutes. The stolen loot was turned into 1,690 Ethereum coins and split across six wallets, like hiding candy in different jars. Could it be a leaked private key? Or did someone at the birthday bash get too close to Suji’s phone? The clues were piling up, and the chase was heating up.
Online, people couldn’t stop guessing. Some thought it was an inside job, others pointed to fancy hacking tricks. The internet turned into a big detective club, with everyone sharing ideas and theories.
Clues Point to a Bigger Story
As the team dug deeper, the story got juicier. SlowMist traced the money trails, spotting patterns that looked oddly familiar—like footprints from other crypto crimes. ZachXBT, with his sharp eye, wondered if this could tie to bigger hacking crews, maybe even groups like North Korea’s Lazarus, known for pulling off giant crypto heists. The wallet hack happened right on Suji’s birthday, which felt too perfect to be random. Was it a planned hit?
The crypto community watched in awe. News sites and X posts lit up with updates. People learned that the thief didn’t just grab and run—they carefully swapped the assets and spread them out, showing some serious skill. It wasn’t just a robbery; it was a puzzle begging to be solved.
Fighting Back with Brains and Heart
Suji didn’t let the loss break him. He worked hand-in-hand with SlowMist and ZachXBT, sharing every detail he could. They weren’t just chasing the money—they were shining a light on how tricky crypto security can be. SlowMist warned folks about new scams, like fake Zoom links that trick people into giving away their keys. ZachXBT reminded everyone why he’s a legend, piecing together clues like a master storyteller.
The internet cheered them on. Fans posted support, saying things like, “Suji’s fighting back—crypto’s got heroes!” Others shared tips on keeping wallets safe, turning a bad day into a lesson for all. It wasn’t just about the $4 million anymore; it was about trust and sticking together.
The Engagement – What’s Next for the Crypto Crew?
The hunt’s still on, and the story’s far from over. Will Suji and his team catch the culprit? Will the $4 million find its way home? No one knows yet, but one thing’s clear: this tale has everyone hooked. It’s a reminder that in the wild world of crypto, anything can happen—and it’s up to us to stay smart and watch out for each other.
So, what do you think, reader? Got a guess about who did it? Or maybe a tip to keep your own digital stash safe? Drop your thoughts below—let’s keep this adventure rolling together!

A shocking incident occurred this morning when Pump.fun’s X account was hacked to promote a fake governance token—PUMP. This hack led to one wallet making over $135,000 in profits in just one minute by exploiting the manipulated price jump of the fake token!

Even though Pump.fun has consistently denied rumors about launching its own token, the hack tricked many crypto enthusiasts into believing otherwise. The fake post read:

"Introducing PUMP, the official Pump.fun governance token, where democracy has never been this degen. We will also be rewarding our OG degens." It included a link to purchase the fake token, which quickly led many to fall for the scam.

Despite the company's account still being active while the fake post was live, there’s clear evidence that the token is a scam. Bubblemaps pointed out that the fake PUMP tokens are heavily bundled, with just two wallets holding over 60% of the total supply.

In one case, a user spent $5,532 in SOL to buy the fake token and quickly sold it off at a higher price, earning a stunning $135,000 profit.

This hack is just one example in a growing trend where scammers target high-profile social media accounts to promote fake tokens and rug pulls. Recent reports show that hackers have been targeting everyone from Myanmar’s current leader to former heads of state in Brazil and Malaysia.

After an hour pumpfun responds "

Pump.fun Update:
“We’ve regained access to this account. Based on current information, the extent of the compromise was limited to this X account.
TL:DR: The security protocols taken by the team to secure the X account were thorough, relied on industry best practices, and focused on minimizing the risk of such an event occurring. The attack that led to this compromise is unknown, but it's unlikely that the team is at fault.”

Important Reminder: Meme coin traders, stay vigilant! Scams like these are a constant threat, and it's critical to remain cautious when dealing with new tokens or suspicious projects. If a project seems too good to be true, it very well might be.

The $1.4 billion hack of Bybit, one of the largest cryptocurrency exchanges, is believed to be the work of the Lazarus Group, a North Korean hacking collective with a history of large-scale cyberattacks. The hackers were responsible for the $1.4 billion hack of Bybit, who targeted Bybit’s cold wallet signers and intercepted transfers, gaining access to massive amounts of funds. They have since used over 11,000 cryptocurrency wallets to move and launder the stolen assets, complicating tracking efforts
In response, Bybit’s CEO, Ben Zhou, took action by declaring a “war” on the hackers and launching an initiative to recover the stolen funds. This included introducing a new tool to blacklist suspicious wallets and offering rewards for tracking the stolen money.
Blockchain analytics firm Elliptic released a free data feed listing wallet addresses linked to North Korean hackers. This initiative helps the community avoid sanctions and prevent money laundering of the stolen assets.

“Addresses associated with the Bybit exploit were identified and available to screen within just 30 minutes of the announcement, protecting customers without the need for them to conduct repetitive manual checks,” Elliptic stated.
Elliptic’s intelligence API identified 11,084 crypto wallet addresses linked to the Bybit hack. The list is expected to expand as investigations continue.
Zhou expressed gratitude to the Elliptic team for their assistance in providing real-time data on the Bybit hack. On February 25, Bybit hired the Web3 security firm ZeroShadow to investigate the blockchain and trace the stolen funds from the Bybit hack. The firm’s job is to track the funds and prevent further movement, aiming to recover as much as possible.
Despite the breach, Bybit has worked to maintain platform stability, keeping withdrawals open and securing external liquidity through loans. By February 25, the exchange began repaying these loans, starting with a transfer of 40,000 $ETH back to Bitget.

1) #Bybit Recovers After #Hack
Bybit has managed to recover following the hack. To restore balances, they purchased part of the required ETH on the OTC market, while partners provided the rest. Meanwhile, the hackers have started slowly selling off stolen funds through various DEXs. This was the biggest hack in history.

Some people have been comparing it to the #FTX collapse, but that’s completely inaccurate for several reasons:

- The market is in a bull run now, unlike during the FTX collapse, which happened in a bear cycle. Exchanges are doing well thanks to high trading volumes and, consequently, substantial fee revenue.
- The FTX collapse was a coordinated attack by media figures due to Alameda’s reckless behavior. Alameda was manipulating the market and misusing customer funds. Traditional banks learned a lesson in 2008, and crypto exchanges learned from FTX in 2022—no one wants to repeat that mistake.
- A top exchange collapsing now isn’t in anyone’s interest. We’ve already seen how quickly partners stepped in to support Bybit and bridge the gap while they recovered.
- This was the biggest stress test for an exchange in dollar terms. If Bybit didn’t collapse on the first day, the chances of it happening later are minimal. Credit goes to their team for handling the crisis so well.

2) #SEC Is Gradually Retreating
- They recently withdrew the lawsuit against Coinbase.
- Today, they closed the investigation into Robinhood.
- There’s a high chance they’ll also close the case against Consensys (which, like others, revolves around staking regulations).

Overall, I really like how "SEC 2.0" is operating. Long-term deregulation is beneficial for the crypto industry. The agency is no longer actively hindering crypto’s growth. Remember the article about debanking crypto and the Biden administration’s shadow war against it? That’s now fading into the past.
