Bybit Blocks Coordinated Attack, Prevents $1B+ DOT Loss
🛡️ Attack stopped cold
Bybit successfully defended against coordinated attacks across multiple blockchain networks, preventing over 1 billion DOT in potential losses.
Key Details:

The exchange continues demonstrating operational resilience through proactive security measures and transparent crisis management.
