Lido DAO (LDO) has seen its token price increase following the resolution of a security breach involving one of its Node Operators, Numic.

In anticipation of such an attack, Numic immediately acted by setting all their depositable keys to zero and performing step by step removal of all the possibly compromised keys. This prevented new deposits from being made to other validators that might have been compromised.

<a href="https://coingape.com/lido-dao-ldo-price-hits-new-highs-in-extended-rally/">Lido DAO</a> contributors were instrumental in assisting Numic in conducting a detailed investigation of the breach. Together, they contributed to the preservation of the trust within the community and ensured that all actions were transparent. The precaution measures were successfully implemented without affecting the operations of the validators and the situation did not result in financial losses.
