Bybit said an August 18 H1 2026 risk and security report showed it intercepted more than $700 million in potential user losses from January 1 to June 15, blocking over 30,000 suspicious withdrawal requests and protecting nearly 20,000 users after the roughly $1.46 billion February 2025 theft attributed to North Korea’s Lazarus Group. The exchange linked the result to its post-attack security program, including AI-assisted analysis, but the report’s specific measurement period was the first half of 2026 rather than an independently verified full year.
