Debate Arises Over Responsibility In Bybit Security Breach

According to BlockBeats, on February 27, Safe investor Hasu commented on social media regarding the recent Bybit security breach. Hasu noted that although the breach was due to Safe's front-end rather than Bybit's infrastructure, Bybit's systems were inadequate in detecting such a straightforward hack. He argued that when transferring funds exceeding $1 billion, there is no justification for not verifying message integrity on a second offline machine. Hasu emphasized that blaming SAFE instead of Bybit would be a misinterpretation of the lessons to be learned. In response, Wintermute founder wishfulcynic.eth criticized Hasu's remarks, suggesting they were misleading and distorted the facts. Hasu countered these criticisms by stating that assessing Safe's fault in the incident is challenging, not because of his investment in Safe. He explained that Safe offers a solution through a centralized front-end but should not be solely relied upon. Hasu identified Safe's primary issue as its lack of collaboration with large fund clients for security education. He also acknowledged that the breach of Safe developers' devices was a concern, but emphasized the importance of learning from the incident.
