Ben Zhou has been at the center of significant legal and security events involving Bybit. In November 2023, the FTX bankruptcy estate sued Bybit for nearly $1 billion, alleging that Mirana had prioritized withdrawals from FTX during its November 2022 collapse; Bybit settled the case for $228 million in October 2024. On February 21, 2025, Bybit disclosed that it had been hacked, with approximately 400,000 ETH, valued at roughly $1.4 billion to $1.5 billion, reported stolen, making it the largest cryptocurrency exchange hack reported to date. The FBI attributed the breach to North Korea-linked TraderTraitor actors, and blockchain analytics firms Arkham Intelligence and Elliptic also linked it to Lazarus Group. Bybit stated it replenished its reserves within 72 hours by securing 447,000 ETH through emergency funding, with reported liquidity providers including Galaxy Digital, FalconX, and Wintermute.
