It could be resurrected if there are multiple news stories making it notable for being hacked. It would have to be rewritten, though, to give it substantially different content.

Here's the discussion from the second time it was deleted:

They're basically saying "nah, that's spam". So when it was recreated yet again, of course it was speedily terminated with prejudice because it just looks like another spam attempt.
Not sure if there's a rule against covering news stories. Seems like we wouldn't want an article on every news event (I'm pretty sure there is a rule against that), but Crowdstrike got an article.
Since yesterday someone has put in the work to make a minimal article that mentions the hack, with good sources (BBC, NYT), and that is now what’s on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bybit
I suppose that over time the article might grow. Either way it’s nice that someone put in the work to make a new article that records this hack.
Just like I would expect Wikipedia to have an article on Enron and their shenanigans, or the Norwegian language version of Wikipedia to have an article about the NOKAS robbery, I think it makes sense that Wikipedia has a record in its articles about the largest crypto hack so far. And that this hack is mentioned in an article about the exchange itself.
