PANews, July 10, according to CoinDesk, Greece's anti-money laundering agency has executed a cryptocurrency asset freeze order for the first time, seizing funds related to the $1.5 billion hacking incident at Bybit exchange in February. The attack is alleged to be connected to the North Korean hacking group Lazarus. Greek authorities traced the wallets involved to a local Greek trading platform using Chainalysis tools and froze the related assets. Currently, official data from Bybit shows that approximately $72 million (5% of the stolen ETH) has been frozen, while $870 million remains unaccounted for. The hackers previously transferred funds using mixers such as Wasabi and Tornado Cash and cross-chain bridges. The Greek Minister of Finance stated that this operation has helped victims recover approximately 10 million euros ($11.7 million).
