Bybit hacker has 489,395 ETH, to which if they put everything into ETH validators, they would have 15+k nodes. etherscan node tracker has 5k+ nodes. Is ethereum fucked if Lazarus decides to run 10k nodes to get a 51+% majority?

No, etherscan is tracking execution nodes (which might be more realistic of a reflection of how many _real_ nodes exist!), rather than consensus nodes (which incurs the staking rewards). Since there's a limit of 32 ETH per staker, and approximately 33.7MM ETH staked, there's approximately 1.05MM nodes. Realistically, however, there's not actually 1.05MM nodes, they're just "logical" nodes while a process manages multiple validators

I'm glad to be surrounded with people who knows better than I do. I was told to take a look at the Beacon staking contract instead of etherscan's node tracking list as well. To simply put they only have less than 1% of all staked ETH, so my concern was invalid to begin with. <3
