Hey team,

I am self reporting a MEV steal incident for the following blocks:  
21463835 (0.02978074013437738 ETH)  
21564581 (0.011710764002359463 ETH)

Validator: 1631731  
Operator: # 51

When I was setting up my Lido testnet node, I also setup another node so it was ready for the mainnet release. At this time, there was no mainnet address ready for the fee recipient.

When deploying the validator on mainnet, I forgot to configure the fee recipient on my validator client and these rewards were then sent to my beacon client fee recipient.

I have updated the fee recipient and paid the locked bond amount in the CSM UI. Let me know if there’s anything else I need to do to remedy the issue.

Thank you

Thanks for the collaboration. Since locked bond was compensated fully and correct fee recipient was set on your setup there are no additional actions required.
