Following the Lazarus hack, discussions emerged about the potential rollback of the Ethereum blockchain to reverse the theft of funds. Bybit CEO Ben Zhou stated the exchange would pursue various strategies to recover the funds, including a bounty program and collaboration with law enforcement and the Ethereum Foundation. When asked about supporting a rollback in a recent post, Zhou highlighted that any decision should involve community consensus rather than a unilateral choice. He referenced a past incident when the Ethereum network underwent a rollback after The DAO incident, which resulted in $60 million worth of ETH being drained and led to the hard fork creating Ethereum Classic. Currently, the Lazarus Group allegedly holds about 489,395 ETH, valued at approximately $1.3 billion. To facilitate the recovery of stolen assets, Bybit announced a bounty program offering 10% of the stolen amount, or up to $140 million, to white hat hackers aiding in the effort. Other industry leaders, including the CEO of Tether, announced steps to block transactions related to the hacking group.
