πŸš€ US Judge Dismisses Class-Action Lawsuit Against Atomic Wallet

According to Cointelegraph, a United States federal judge has dismissed a class-action lawsuit against Atomic Wallet, citing a lack of jurisdiction over the Estonian crypto firm. The decision was made by Colorado district court judge Philip Brimmer on September 10, affecting Atomic Wallet, its CEO Konstantin Gladyshev, shareholder Pavel Sokolov, and Evercode Infinite, the software development firm behind Atomic Wallet.

The lawsuit was filed in August 2023 by a group of users who had stored cryptocurrencies through Atomic Wallet. This legal action followed a $100 million hack that the wallet provider experienced two months earlier. Judge Brimmer ruled that the contact between Atomic Wallet and Colorado was insufficient to establish the court's jurisdiction over the firm and the other defendants named in the suit.

In November, Atomic Wallet had moved to dismiss the lawsuit, arguing that it had no ties to the United States and that only one of the 21 plaintiffs, Graham Dickinson, was based in Colorado, where the suit was filed. The plaintiffs had contended that Atomic Wallet's advertisements were visible in Colorado on X, its mobile app could be downloaded in the state, and Dickinson had routinely communicated with Atomic Wallet's customer service representatives from his home in Colorado.

Judge Brimmer noted that the nature of Atomic Wallet's products, which are software applications, made it less likely that the firm deliberately targeted the Colorado market. He explained that unlike tangible goods that must be shipped to customers in a specific state, Atomic Wallet's products could reach users without the firm knowing their locations. Despite dismissing the claims, Brimmer allowed the plaintiffs an additional 21 days to explain why a suit against defendant Ilia Brusov, one of the founders of Evercode Infinite and an Atomic Wallet shareholder, should not be dismissed. Brusov owns a 12.8% stake in Atomic Wallet, while Sokolov also holds a 12.8% stake, and Gladyshev owns the remaining 74.4%.

πŸš€ Bybit Launches Initiative Against Lazarus Group Amidst Crypto Hack

According to CoinDesk, cryptocurrency exchange Bybit has initiated a campaign against the notorious Lazarus Group following a significant security breach. The exchange has introduced a new website aimed at tracking the group's wallet addresses, encouraging public participation in the investigation. Bybit is offering a 5% reward for any submissions that lead to the freezing of funds.

Bybit's CEO, Ben Zhou, announced this "war against Lazarus" through a social media post, highlighting the launch of what he described as the first bounty site providing full transparency on the sanctioned group's money laundering activities. Zhou emphasized that users can connect their wallets to the website to assist in tracing the stolen funds. He assured that a bounty would be paid immediately once assets are frozen.

Zhou further stated that a dedicated team has been assigned to maintain and update the website, with a commitment to continue efforts until the Lazarus Group and other malicious actors are eradicated from the industry. He also mentioned plans to extend the platform's use to other victims of the Lazarus Group in the future.

Currently, the website is tracking 6,338 addresses linked to the Lazarus Group, with approximately $42.3 million already frozen, representing just over 3% of the stolen assets. The hack, which occurred on Friday, resulted in nearly $1.5 billion being stolen from Bybit, causing a significant impact on the crypto market and leading to a decline in digital asset prices. The attack, attributed to North Korea's Lazarus Group, has been labeled as the largest crypto theft to date.

πŸš€ Crypto Theft Results in $27 Million Loss for User Babur

According to ChainCatcher, a significant crypto theft has resulted in the loss of $27 million for a user named Babur. The stolen assets were primarily linked to two addresses: a Solana address, 91xu, and an Ethereum Safe multi-signature address, 0xD2. The largest two transactions from these addresses amounted to over $18 million.

The hacker's addresses are identified as 71fM on Solana and 0x4f on Ethereum, with some funds already transferred cross-chain to the Ethereum network. The incident is suspected to have been caused by malware on the user's computer, leading to the exposure of private keys. It is believed that the user inadvertently executed a malicious file, resulting in the compromise of private keys, including those for the Safe multi-signature wallet, which may have been stored on the infected computer.

πŸš€ FTC Proposes Settlement with Nomad Crypto Bridge Operator Over Security Breach

According to ChainCatcher, the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) announced on Tuesday a proposed settlement with Illusory Systems, the operator of the Nomad crypto bridge, following a hacking incident that resulted in the theft of nearly all platform funds.

The FTC's complaint states that Illusory Systems introduced a critical vulnerability during a code update in June 2022, which hackers exploited starting August 1, leading to the theft of approximately $186 million in Ethereum, USDC, DAI, and WBTC assets. Users suffered losses exceeding $100 million. The FTC accuses Nomad of failing to adequately test its code, maintain clear vulnerability reporting and incident response processes, and deploy basic security measures to limit user losses, despite claiming to be a "security-first" platform.

Under the proposed settlement, Illusory Systems will be prohibited from misrepresenting its security practices, required to implement a formal information security program, undergo independent security assessments every two years, and return any recovered funds to affected users that have not yet been reimbursed. Following the hack, Nomad managed to recover only $22 million of the stolen funds.

According to Foresight News, Medjedovic was arrested in Belgrade, Serbia, in August 2024, but was released after a Serbian court denied the Netherlands' extradition request.

Investigations reveal that Medjedovic used his skills in mathematics and programming to attack Indexed Finance at the age of 18, profiting $16.5 million. He later targeted KyberSwap in 2023, gaining $48 million. Medjedovic allegedly used a fake Slovak passport and traveled across countries including Brazil, Dubai, and Spain. The U.S. Department of Justice accuses him of laundering money through mixers like Tornado Cash.

Despite facing arrest warrants from multiple countries, Medjedovic has denied all charges in previous court statements, claiming he continues to earn $100,000 monthly as a freelance cryptocurrency professional.

πŸš€ Project 0 Resumes Operations After Drift Protocol Hack

Decentralized lending protocol Project 0 has announced the resumption of its operations. According to Foresight News, the platform had previously halted activities and initiated a deleveraging process following a hack on the Drift protocol. Project 0 reported that the remaining socialized loss amounts to approximately $1.9147 million, which will be distributed across the credit pool, resulting in an average asset write-down of 2.61% for lenders.

The write-down percentages vary by asset risk level, with USDC, SOL, and USDT experiencing a 1% reduction, mainstream assets like BTC and ETH seeing a 2.61% decrease, and WIF, BONK, and governance tokens facing a 6.62% reduction. Project 0 noted that as Drift assets are gradually unlocked and returned to affected users, the actual loss will be less than the stated baseline figures.

Previously, Project 0 co-founder MacBrennan explained that the protocol employs a unified credit pool to enable cross-protocol margin functionality, which is a core mechanism of P0. However, some community members expressed dissatisfaction, stating that they were impacted despite not directly participating in Drift lending.
