Lido head of validators, Izzy, clarified that potential disruptions from the compromised oracle would primarily affect leveraged stETH holders through minor delays in stETH rebases, with negligible overall impact

"In the worst case, [compromised oracles] may mean something like stETH rebases (whether positive or negative) take longer to materialize, which will affect stETH holders but mostly in a negligible manner apart from those who may be using stETH in a leveraged manner in DeFi," wrote Lido head of validators Izzy on X.
Lido confirmed that stakers aren’t affected at all. The protocol continues to run as normal, and the system remains secure. Lido’s oracles operate with a 5-out-of-9 quorum, meaning even if one fails or is compromised, the rest can keep things running safely. All eight other oracles were checked and found to be secure.
