Following the Lazarus hack, a debate emerged about rolling back the Ethereum blockchain to invalidate stolen funds. Bybit CEO Ben Zhou stated that the exchange will pursue all options to recover the stolen assets, including a bounty for information leading to their return, collaboration with law enforcement, and discussions with the Ethereum Foundation for potential solutions. Zhou expressed that the matter may not be solely his decision and suggested a community voting process regarding a rollback. The previous rollback of the Ethereum blockchain occurred after The DAO hack, which led to a hard fork and the creation of Ethereum Classic. Currently, the Lazarus Group holds substantial ETH and is allegedly tied to money laundering efforts. Bybit has introduced a 10% bounty program for white hat hackers, which could amount to $140 million, as they seek to recover the stolen cryptocurrency. Tether has also taken action by freezing certain assets tied to the hack.
