According to PANews, the North Korean hacker group Lazarus has shifted its focus to individual investors, having stolen over $5.2 million through malware on May 24. The stolen funds were taken from various types of wallets, including exchange wallets, multi-signature wallets, and external accounts. Blockchain analyst ZackXBT tracked the hackers and discovered that about 1000 ETH was transferred through the Tornado Cash mixer.
Security experts advise individual investors to take precautionary measures such as using hardware wallets for large assets, enabling two-factor authentication, regularly updating software patches, being cautious of suspicious links, and periodically checking transaction records. This attack represents a strategic shift by the group from targeting institutions to focusing on individual investors. 🤔❎
