This reimbursement is tied to a liquidity crunch concerning the CyberConnect (CRYPTO: CYBER) token on the Upbit exchange, which in turn resulted in Binance users being prevented from redeeming their staked CYBER.

In another alarming incident, an Ethereum wallet holder was swindled out of $24 million in derivatives due to a sophisticated phishing attack.

The culprits lured the victim with malicious links, leading to the unauthorized siphoning of Rocket Pool ETH (CRYPTO: rETH) and Lido staked ETH (CRYPTO: stETH).
