as posted by the channel

Hackers have stolen $1.5bn (£1.19bn) in digital currency, potentially marking the largest cryptocurrency heist in history.

The Dubai-based Bybit exchange reported that an attacker gained access to an Ethereum wallet and transferred its contents to an unknown address.

The firm, which has more than 60 million users worldwide, said no other wallets were affected and withdrawals were proceeding normally.
