Shocking!!!
North Korea's 'Hacker Claw' extends globally again! The truth behind the $1.5 billion heist revealed.
Today, a shocking cyber attack targeting a cryptocurrency exchange has been traced back to North Korea's infamous 'Lazarus Group'. This group of government-supported hackers is accused of orchestrating the largest digital asset heist in history, stealing up to $1.5 billion.
On-chain detective ZachXBT was the first to unveil the mystery, pointing directly at Lazarus through strong evidence such as wallet connections and transaction traces. Analysis firm Arkham Intelligence quickly followed up, offering a $50,000 reward for the truth, confirming the discovery in under an hour. It shows that this attack is similar to a previous incident involving a vulnerability at another exchange in the UAE, employing the same addresses and monetary tactics, with Lazarus's 'criminal signature' clearly visible.
Breaking news indicates that ZachXBT submitted a report today at 19:09 UTC, definitively identifying Lazarus as the mastermind. Although Arkham only paid out a $32,000 bounty, which is insignificant compared to the massive losses, the speed of solving the case is impressive.
For years, Lazarus has frequently attacked the cryptocurrency industry, stealing funds to support North Korea's missile program. In this attack, the exchange's Ethereum cold wallet became the target. It has been confirmed that the hackers successfully tampered with the smart contract logic using a disguised trading interface, transferring all assets to an unknown address. Despite this, they insist that the exchange operates normally, with customer assets having a 1:1 reserve, sufficient to absorb the losses.
In the UAE, the largest hack in crypto history was the $600 million theft from the Ronin Network in 2022. Now, this new record raises alarms about security again, as Lazarus's 'claw' instills fear worldwide.
