FBI urges crypto community to avoid laundering funds from Bybit hack

The FBI attributed a $1.5 billion theft from the Bybit exchange to North Korean-linked TraderTraitor/Lazarus, provided Ethereum wallet addresses tied to the attack, and urged blockchain services and exchanges to block interactions with those addresses. Reports indicate rapid laundering of funds (roughly $400M already), a compromise of a Safe Wallet developer machine affecting Bybit, and active response efforts including bounties and forensic reporting.
