All operators involved in these incidents have compensated reported penalties, and no further action is required. A big thank-you goes out to all the operators who self-reported MEV stealing via this forum and the Lido Discord server.
One more case of an incorrect fee recipient has been identified for Node Operator 43. The NO self-reported via the forum, describing the issue with its client setup. Since there were no malicious intent from the NO side, and it was a pure software bug, it was proposed to compensate rewards for both blocks proposed by the NO by sending ether directly to the Lido EL Rewards Vault without reporting MEV stealing to the CSM.
