PANews reported on February 22 that Bybit CEO Ben Zhou posted on the X platform: "I do agree with CZ's point of view. If the hacker attack was through infiltrating our internal system (such as a part of the withdrawal system) or the hot wallet was breached, all withdrawals would be suspended immediately until the root cause of the problem is found. But in yesterday's incident, it was the ETH cold wallet (using Safe) that was breached, which has nothing to do with any of our internal systems. Therefore, I can decisively decide to let all Bybit withdrawals and system functions operate as usual. In the crisis last night, Binance and CZ, as well as many partners and industry leaders, took the initiative to help. We are deeply grateful and feel extremely warm for the support we have received. This incident is a huge blow to Bybit, but the entire industry has shown the power of unity. I believe that from now on, everything will only move in a better direction."
