MetaMask exits affected Lido Ethereum validators after security incident
MetaMask has started exiting affected Ethereum validators after an infrastructure security incident, moving the issue beyond investigation without evidence of a wallet compromise. The exits affect MetaMask Staking validators in Lido, with downtime penalties and lost staking rewards in play as ETH moves through validator exit, withdrawal, and re-entry. Lido says stETH holders need no action, and the final validators are expected to enter the exit process by October 7, 2026.
