Coin World News reports that the node operator Launchnodes engineering team disclosed in the Lido community that a server located in Launchnodes' 'bare metal' data center in South Africa experienced a server connection interruption for approximately 20 hours and 40 minutes on December 31, 2024, IST. It was ultimately determined that the issue was caused by a hardware failure of the data center's network cable, and the problem was resolved after the cable was replaced. The total financial impact on the protocol was calculated to be 2.657 ETH, which has been transferred by Launchnodes to the Lido execution layer reward treasury.
