Ethereum Staking Giant Lido Loses Just 1.4 ETH in Hacking Attempt

Lido Finance—the $30B behemoth dominating Ethereum staking—just survived a hacking attempt with barely a scratch. Attackers walked away with a laughable 1.4 ETH ($4,200 at current prices), proving even crypto’s ’safest’ yield traps aren’t bulletproof.

Meanwhile, TradFi bankers watching from their glass towers: ’Only $4K stolen? That’s less than our team spends on artisanal coffee during a liquidity crisis.’
