MetaMask exits Ethereum validators following security incident

MetaMask is taking its Ethereum validators offline as a precautionary measure following an ongoing security incident affecting its infrastructure. The company confirmed that no immediate threat to user wallets has been identified and that the staking operation remains non-custodial. The move impacts validators operated by MetaMask Staking within the Lido protocol, with exits expected to be completed by October 7. Lido noted that stETH holders do not need to take action, though the process of cycling funds back into the protocol may take up to 45 days.
