OneKey Founder: IBIT May Have Become a Potential Target of North Korean Hackers, Its Highly Centralized BTC Custody Risks Cannot Be Ignored

OneKey founder Yishi analyzed that he suspects IBIT is already on North Korea's list of potential targets. During the Bybit hacking incident in February 2025, attackers infiltrated the Safe{Wallet} developer's Mac computer through a malicious project disguised as a legitimate Docker tool, gaining 17 days of access — sufficient to manipulate the transaction interface used by signers, tricking them into authorizing the theft of $1.5 billion without their knowledge. Yishi noted that TRM Labs is highly confident that the Binance incident is linked to TraderTraitor, a group also associated with the Bybit and DMM Bitcoin heists; Binance stated there is no evidence of private key leaks, while TRM believes the attackers may have gained control of the signing infrastructure.
