North Korean Hacker team, known as Lazarus Group, achieved success in his latest robbery that includes crypto.
According to reports, hackers stole more than $ 1.5 billion in digital tokens, and so far they have managed to cash in about $ 300 million.
The attack, which was performed about two weeks ago, aimed at the crypto stock exchange by Bit, where the Hacker team redirected the funds into their own wallet, and everything went unnoticed.
Experts state that the North Korea hackers became the most noticeable in “wash” crypto, often using sophisticated methods to avoid monitoring their transactions.
Although numerous initiatives have since begun to block their activities, including attempting to stop the crypto in real cash, Lazarus Group continues its efforts, probably funded by the North Korea military industry.
This attack, which included the amendment of the address for the transfer of crypto coins, reveals how severe hackers from this country became a serious threat in global cyber security. BYBITA CEO, Ben Zhou, assures the users that their funds are safe, but acknowledges that the firm is currently in war with this infamous group.
North Korea has been using cyber attacks for years to support their nuclear ambitions, and this incident is only the latest in a number of similar hacker operations.
