Lazarus Group News

Binance face scrutiny as India investigates cross-border wallet flows and security risks. Globally, investigative agencies have been acting against illicit crypto funding.

A $44-million breach at CoinDCX has rocked India’s CoinDCX exchange, exposing silent vulnerabilities, delayed disclosures and the fragile infrastructure.

A pro-Israel hacker group stole $81 million worth of crypto from Iran’s largest crypto exchange, Nobitex, adding to the conflict between the two countries.

The Indian crypto exchange announced a recovery program of up to 25% for ethical hackers who can help recover the stolen stablecoins.

The Venn Network team suspects the threat was linked to the North Korean Lazarus Group, citing its complexity and widespread deployment.

TRM Labs said North Korea is moving away from hacks to focus more on deception-based revenue generation, such as planting IT workers in US companies.

The stablecoin giant froze over $12.3 million worth of funds, pointing to potential illicit activity or AML violations.

The analysis by the BitMEX security researchers revealed amateur-level operational security lapses in the Lazarus Group’s hacker network.

OKX said its upgrades to the re-launched DEX aggregator include measures to identify suspicious or fraudulent onchain activity from hackers and other bad actors.

Kraken says a North Korean actor applied for a tech job at the crypto exchange but foiled their plan after a tip-off from industry partners.

The US government and global regulatory efforts had a major effect on crypto compliance over the past few years, according to Elliptic's James Smith.

Crypto hackers have already surpassed the $1.49 billion stolen during 2024, according to Immunefi’s latest research.

Almost 70% of the stolen Bybit funds “remain traceable,” said CEO Ben Zhou, who is pinning his hopes on bounty hunters to decipher crypto mixers used to launder the loot.

Bybit’s market share rebounded to its pre-hack levels of over 7% despite a broader macro “de-risking” among cryptocurrency investors.

Cyberattacks originating from the country range from social engineering attempts to assaults on exchanges and can take a year to play out.
