Notorious North Korean Hacker Group Lazarus Suspected Of Laundering $35M From The Infamous $305M DMM Bitcoin Heist
In a major revelation, the notorious North Korean hacker group, Lazarus, is suspected of laundering over $35 million from the infamous hack of Japanese cryptocurrency exchange DMM Bitcoin.
根据消息,臭名昭著的朝鲜黑客组织Lazarus涉嫌从日本加密货币交易所DMm Bitcoin的恶名高达3500万美元的黑客攻击中洗钱。
What Happened: According to on-chain detective ZachXBT, the hackers behind the $305 million exploit allegedly laundered funds through a Cambodian online marketplace, Huione Guarantee, reportedly linked to Cambodia's ruling Hun family.
据区块链侦探ZachXBt称,攻击价值30500万美元的黑客背后的人据称通过柬埔寨在线市场Huione Guarantee洗钱,该市场据传与柬埔寨执政的洪家有关。
"It is suspected that Lazarus Group is behind the hack due to similarities in laundering techniques and off-chain indicators," ZachXBT stated.
ZachXBt声称:“由于洗钱技术和离线因素的相似之处,据推测Lazarus Group可能是黑客背后的幕后黑手。”
Citing a report by blockchain analytics firm Elliptic, the cryptocurrency sleuth said that Huione has become the preferred money laundering service provider for criminal groups in Southeast Asia, clocking an estimated $11 billion in transaction volume.
引用区块链分析公司Elliptic的报告,这位加密货币调查人员表示,Huione已成为东南亚犯罪团伙首选的洗钱服务提供商,交易量达110亿美元。
Why It Matters: Japan-based DMM Bitcoin lost $305 million in Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) after a critical vulnerability was exploited in May. The cryptocurrency exchange raised $320 million about a week later to compensate users for the losses.
对此的影响:总部位于日本的DMm比特币在五月份因关键漏洞而失去了30500万美元的比特币(加密货币:BTC)。约一周后,这家加密货币交易所筹集了3200万美元来赔偿用户的损失。
This is not the first time the Lazarus Group has been linked to large-scale cryptocurrency theft. The notorious gang, alleged to be run by the government of North Korea, laundered $13 million worth of Ethereum (CRYPTO: ETH) through a cryptocurrency mixer, Tornado Cash, earlier in March, despite U.S. sanctions.
这不是Lazarus Group第一次与大规模加密货币盗窃有关。据称这个臭名昭著的团伙由朝鲜政府运行,早在3月份就通过一个名为Tornado Cash的加密货币混合器洗了1300万美元的以太坊(加密货币:ETH),尽管美国实施了制裁。
According to a report, the group reportedly stole over $1 billion in cryptocurrency assets in 2023, targeting a record 20 platforms.
据一份报告称,该团伙在2023年共盗窃了超过10亿美元的加密货币资产,共盯上了20个平台。
