North Korean hackers stole $1.5 billion in ETH from Bybit in a daring heist at the end of the week .

Industry stakeholders are split over a proposal for a blockchain rollback for the Ethereum network following Bybit ’s security breach.

Supporters for the rollback are hinging their claims on the 2016 hardfork after its DAO hack.

Hardliners in the community may be swayed by claims that the stolen ETH by state-sponsored hackers will be used to fund North Korea's nuclear weapon programs.
