It's a common misconception that a "cold wallet" is offline. It's still on the blockchain like any other wallet, it's just the keys that aren't on any network-connected computer.
It appears that in this case hackers managed to trick Bybit employees into entering the keys into a fake UI that gave the hackers access to them.
Tricked or “tricked”.

That’s room temperature wallet. It was used while claiming asset unused.
It is not cold storage anymore.

How does one get ones hands on a cold wallet?

Do I understand this correctly, then, that this was some sort of MITM attack where valid requests to the multisig parties were replaced by malicious code while still appearing to be valid to the signers? That must be an inside job.
And this is the first time I have heard the word "musked" in this context.....

I have no idea. I guess they'll release a lot more info regarding this in the next few days.

I think his English isn't good looking at the rest of the message. Might be "masked" instead.

Depends which exchange you're using.
Anybody who keeps their money on an exchange any longer than necessary is just asking for trouble. An exchange is like a public toilet. You get in, you shit, and you get the fuck out. You don't hang around in a public toilet.
Self custody or GTFO.

They're worth what you can sell them for. The US dollars they're priced in don't exactly inspire confidence these days, either.

I'm not sure I understand the question... Do you think the market value of these coins is made up, and you can't actually go onto an exchange and trade it for actual USD? Because of course you can.

That's not what the question was about.

There was no question. There was a statement.

You wanted to know how it's calculated.
That was the supposed amount of ETH that was stolen. 1 ETH is currently around $2800. The value it has is because people are buying ETH for that price. So you take $2800 and multiply it by 400000. Carry the 5, etc. That's $1 120 000 000.
There was some other stuff stolen too I think. I haven't really looked into it.
